Lord, Gillian, and Stasie Harrington. "Online communities of practice and second language phonological acquisition." International Journal of Computer-Assisted Language Learning and Teaching (IJCALLT) 3.3 (2013): 34-55.

Second language (L2) researchers have long advocated for incorporating pronunciation instruction in language curricula, with mixed success. Technological advances offer new tools like podcasting, fostering collaboration and enhancing input, interaction, and output processes beyond the classroom. This study explores podcasting as a means to create a community of practice for language learners to improve phonological production. While results offer inconsistent evidence of acoustic and articulatory improvements, the benefits of podcasting for such purposes are discussed.
