The importance of pronunciation in language learning and teaching is widely recognized, yet there is far less agreement on which elements of pronunciation are most critical for promoting intelligible speech and how these elements should be addressed through instruction. There are also many questions about how instruction in pronunciation should interface with speaking and listening skills.  Finally, the rise of new technologies promises to change the future of pronunciation teaching, with developments in speech recognition and speech synthesis supplementing traditional uses of technology for self-directed learning.

The inaugural conference invited paper proposals or poster presentations on any aspect of pronunciation teaching and learning, especially those related to how pronunciation can be taught in relation to listening and speaking, and related to innovative uses of technology in teaching pronunciation.
