The article begins with an overview of the current role of the teaching of pronunciation in research and practice. Section 2 deals with "Pronunciation and Communicative Competence", in particular the role of pronunciation in successful communication, the objective "pronunciation" as part of the overall learning aim "communicative competence", and the necessity of specialised pronunciation training within a communicatively-oriented foreign language classroom. Section 3 outlines the influence of the variable äge" on pronunciation. Section 4 examines in detail the relationship between perception and pronunciation acquisition, and in Section 5 the importance of psycho-social and motivational factors for pronunciation is discussed. Section 6 summarises the issues raised so far. The following section briefly looks at the empirical findings on the efficiency of the teaching of pronunciation. In Section 8 some consequences for the methodology of pronunciation training are discussed. The article concludes by providing some recommendations for the teaching of pronunciation in the light of current trends in foreign language methodology (focus on form, learner autonomy). (Verlag).
