Remote learning has been in the spotlight since the emergence of the coronavirus pandemic, notably boosting the development of distance learning in the last two years; as universities were obliged to close worldwide and lecturers had to teach online during lockdown, the use of Synchronous Computer-Mediated Communication (SCMC) started to prevail. Pronunciation instruction was not an exception. Indeed, in-person lectures had used technology to support face-to-face (F2F) education by using videos and articles in class. However, educators had to adapt rapidly to teach through video-based platforms. Although much investigation has been conducted on Computer-Assisted Pronunciation Training (CAPT), and researchers currently show more and more interest in the use of new technologies within the pronunciation classroom, little research has been done regarding the teaching methodologies applied in teacher-guided online pronunciation instruction.
