The 21st century has seen a major resurgence of interest in second language (L2) pronunciation research and teaching. As the area continues to grow, so to do questions and issues related to L2 pronunciation. In light of this, we are accepting manuscripts for a Special Edition of the Canadian Journal of Applied Linguistics. Topics may include, but are not limited to:
- Accent and identity
- Pedagogical approaches and techniques
- Pronunciation and technology
- Intelligibility, comprehensibly, and accentedness

- Ethics and pronunciation instruction
- Perception and production in pronunciation development
- Pronunciation assessment
- Implementing pronunciation within broader curricula
We are accepting both full-length articles (max 10000 words) and shorter articles (2500-3000 words) based on classroom accounts. For full-length articles, both empirical studies and theoretical discussions will be considered. Articles based on classroom accounts should demonstrate clear grounding in research. For this issue we ask for articles to be written in English.
