The field of language education is ever-changing. Today’s language classrooms are vastly different from that of the mid-to-late 20th century (Eaton, 2010). In the realm of language learning, phonetics plays a critical role in developing accurate pronunciation and communication skills. With the advancement of pedagogical technologies, educators now have access to innovative tools and techniques that enhance the study of English phonetics. This article explores the significance of pedagogical technologies in the effective teaching and learning of English phonetics. There is also a discussion of phonetic issues occurring in speech production followed by explanations and corrections. The critical study of the advantages and downsides of the given approaches will be reviewed.
