Summary/Abstract: It is necessary to properly understand the level of brain involvement in the process of foreign language acquisition including pronunciation. More importantly, it is essential to adequately apply this knowledge to enhance foreign language teaching and nonnative pronunciation learning. Foreign accent is a neurocognitive phenomenon so pronunciation teaching should be designed to maximize cognitive functions. Multisensory approach is especially beneficial and requisite at the early stages of foreign language learning. As well, it is compatible with various learning styles in different age groups.
