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.

TL;DR: The results showed that both repetition accuracy and the subsequent memory of repetitions of short phrases of a language participants had not heard before (Korean) were improved by showing the speaker's face.

TL;DR: This paper reviews ultrasound imaging, one such method of direct visual feedback that is helpful both to a learner and to a researcher interested in observing differences in articulation of sounds within and across languages as well as interlanguages.

Dissertation
The role of imitation in learning to pronounce
TL;DR: This article proposed a role for the typical vocal interaction of early childhood where a mother reformulates ('imitates') her child's output, reflecting back the linguistic intentions she imputes to him.

The Influence of Discrimination Training on Pronunciation
TL;DR: The authors have pointed out that it is precisely in areas other tha that of cross-versational interaction, where it appears impossible to find a substitute for the human t ach r, that programmed instruction has the richest potential.
