This paper reviews ultrasound imaging of the tongue as a method of direct visual biofeedback for teaching and learning pronunciation. Recent research is reviewed, with a focus on the acquisition of the pronunciation of North American English /l/ and /r/, as well as research on articulatory setting. It is concluded that ultrasound has great potential in second language acquisition and is quickly becoming more common as both a research and teaching/learning tool.
