Sumario: This article presents the results of a research study based on two language teaching techniques, drilling and col-or-coding, and their effect on the correct pronunciation of the past tense phonemes /t/, /d/, and /ɪd/ in regular verbs in simple past tense when reading aloud; the pop-ulation of this study was composed of twelve young adults. Qualitative and quantitative data from two in-struments: an identification tally sheet and a question-naire were gathered. The results obtained in the pre and post-test (identification tally sheet) and the performance of the participants from the experimental groups (B and C) showed that there was a positive impact on the accu-rate production of the past tense phonemes when read-ing aloud. Lastly, this research study provides evidence to claim the teaching of drilling and color-coding tech-niques are useful to pronounce the past tense phonemes /t/, /d/, and /ɪd/ in regular verbs correctly.
