The value attached topronunciation has kept changing continually in the methodological history oflanguage instruction. Depending on the nature of methodological considerationsthat dominated research and teaching agenda, it either received too muchattention or was marginalized. This study sets out to provide a comprehensiveoverview of pronunciation instruction from the 1950s to the present day, with aparticular reference to popular bipolar debates that characterized thismethodologically fluctuating period. Moreover, it attempts to examine thegeneral outlook on pronunciation and summarize major issues concerning what componentsof pronunciation to include in the syllabus and how to teach it. The study alsodiscusses the role of computers and technology in pronunciation instruction byincorporating data from empirical studies. Although some of the debates havebeen inconclusive up until today, the intellectual effort put in the processseems to have proved fruitful in providing some guidelines for dealing with thechallenging task of improving learners’ pronunciation.

Dil eğitiminin metodolojik tarihinde sesletime verilenönem farklılık gösteregelmiştir. Araştırma ve öğretime dair gündemin baskınolan ideolojilerin ve metodolojik değerlendirmelerin doğasına bağlı olarak,sesletim ya çok fazla ilgi görmüş ya da bir kenara itilmiştir. Bu çalışmaözellikle metodolojik anlamda dalgalı bir dönemi simgeleyen iki kutuplu popülertartışmaların çerçevesinde, 1950’lerden günümüze sesletim eğitimine ayrıntılıbir bakış ortaya koymayı hedeflemiştir. Bunun yanında sesletime genel bakışıincelemeye ve müfredata dahil edilecek sesletim unsurlarına ve sesletimin nasılöğretilmesi gerektiğine dair temel konuları özetlemeye çalışmıştır. Çalışmaaynı zamanda ampirik araştırmalardan elde edilmiş veriler vasıtasıylabilgisayar ve teknolojinin sesletim eğitimindeki yerini ele almaktadır.Sesletime dair tartışmalardan bazıları bu güne kadar bir sonuca ulaşamamış olsada bu süreçte ortaya konulan zihinsel çaba; zorlu bir iş olan öğrencilerinsesletimlerini geliştirme işinin nasıl ele alınması gerektiğine dair bazıilkeler ortaya koymada semeresini vermiştir.
