Research has shown the importance of pronunciation in language acquisition from "summary" of English Pronunciation Teaching and Research by Martha C. Pennington,Pamela Rogerson-Revell

Research in the field of language acquisition has consistently highlighted the crucial role of pronunciation in the process of learning a new language. The way in which sounds are produced and articulated plays a significant role in successful communication and comprehension. When learners are able to accurately pronounce words and sentences, they are better able to be understood by native speakers and other language learners. One of the key findings of research in this area is that pronunciation impacts overall language proficiency. It has been observed that learners who focus on improving their pronunciation skills tend to have higher levels of fluency and accuracy in speaking, listening, and even reading and writing. This is because pronunciation is interconnected with other aspects of language learning, such as vocabulary, grammar, and intonation. Moreover, research has shown that pronunciation can affect the perception of a speaker's credibility and confidence. When learners are able to pronounce words correctly, they are perceived as more competent and knowledgeable by others. This can have a positive impact on social interactions and professional opportunities for language learners. In addition, pronunciation plays a crucial role in the development of listening skills. Learners who are able to accurately distinguish between different sounds and intonation patterns are better able to comprehend spoken language in real-life situations. This is particularly important in language acquisition, as listening is often the first skill that learners need to develop in order to engage in conversations and communicate effectively.
  1. Research has indicated that pronunciation training can lead to increased motivation and engagement in language learning. When learners see improvements in their pronunciation skills, they are more likely to feel confident and motivated to continue their language studies. This positive feedback loop can enhance the overall learning experience and contribute to long-term language acquisition success.
