I am working on a paper trying to investigate the advisability of using animated charts in teaching phonetics and phonology for non-native speakers of English.
The articulatory organs along the speech canal assume special positions in terms of place and manner of articulation. Animated charts can certainly help learners to monitor the movement of articulators if they exactly know what is going on.
yes, it can help at a considerable degree. I recommend using CALL programs as Pronunciation Power, it is very effective in the teaching of vowels and consonants for foreign learners as it demonstrates the lips movements, the tongue articulation and the jaw shape ( place and manner of articulation).
From my point of view, it will engage people in and out of a class because most of the people are visual learners.
of course they help alot as learners can match better what they know with what they see:visual aids help alot in pronunciation.
