TLDR
In this paper, the authors show that what is effective in teaching sound production and discrimination is the systematic development by small steps from known articulatory postures and movements to new and unknown ones.Abstract:
T WO groups of English speakers received either auditory or articulatory instruction in learning to produce exotic sounds. Performance on production and discrimination tests indicated a striking superiority for the subjects who received systematic training in the production of exotic sounds as opposed to those subjects who received only discrimination training in listening to these sounds. The results of this study suggest that what is effective in the teaching of sound production and discrimination is the systematic development by small steps from known articulatory postures and movements to new and unknown ones.
