Since the mid-90s, the contributions of phonetics to second language (L2) speech studies have increased exponentially. This field of research has always been strongly influenced by theories and hypotheses about L2 learning, but since the mid-90s, it has also adopted theoretical models focused exclusively on the study of speech. In this article, we seek to highlight the main contributions of phonetics in studies that seek to understand how phonetic-phonological learning occurs in an L2. Initially, the main theories and methodologies that have informed L2 speech studies since the 1960s are highlighted. These theoretical and methodological influences are illustrated with research conducted in Brazil, more specifically research from the group Phonetics and Phonology Applied to Foreign Language (NUPFALLE). This brief overview shows how the phonetics-phonology interface has become.
