"HICP techniques" - procedures that are haptic and also explicitly coordinated with phonological structures and/or discourse prosody (For example, clapping hands on primary stressed syllables in multi-syllable words, or doing a dance step on key words in conversational turns.) "Haptic" techniques- procedures that involve both movement and touch (Obvious examples include clapping hands, tapping feet, or holding an object and shaking it to the rhythm of a poem.) Most blog posts link to research that relates to the general HICP model, that is studies dealing with the role of gesture, touch, movement, learning modalities, learning in output, use of the visual field in learning, and experiential learning.
Most movement patterns are taken from either typical classroom pronunciation instruction practice or from related fields, such as psychotherapy or sports. Simply put, the HICP model/method is based on the idea of speaking along with arm and hand movement, not all that different from that used in sign languages.

The essential question is how to use that resource systematically, especially so that those learners who are less "haptic" in nature are also "moved" by the method. Most language instructors intuitively use a great deal of movement and tactile anchoring in the classroom.
In theory, the underlying principles can be applied to teaching the sound system of any language. Using Kachru's "Inner, expanding and outer circles" model to characterize the breadth of Englishes and speakers of those, HIPoeces (now HICP) systems focus on developing haptically-centered pedagogical models and methods which can be adapted for teaching the pronunciation of various Englishes as they are spoken and taught by "owners" of those varieties. This blog was formerly named: HIPoeces (pronounced 'hI-pƏ-cIs), basically an approach to teaching English pronunciation to speakers of "outer and expanding" circle Englishes (including that population commonly termed: non-native speakers) but also compatible with the use of local models other than simply Standard" American" or RP.
