In this chapter, I have argued that just as speech perception plays a central role in L1 pronunciation development, it is also essential to L2 pronunciation learning. Despite this fact, most instruction continues to be production-oriented. The mismatch between what researchers know about L2 pronunciation development and what teachers practice is in part attributable to a lack of communication between researchers and teachers. Most of the L2 speech perception literature is not written for an applied audience. I have attempted to bridge that gap by highlighting key information to allow teachers to incorporate evidence-based principles from the literature into their pronunciation teaching. The chapter also focuses on some promising developments in public-facing perceptual training applications and platforms, which will hopefully continue to move this area of research forward, with resulting benefits for learners.
