Computer-based second language production training by using spectrographic representation and HMM-based speech recognition scores
How can we provide feedback to second language (L2) learners about the goodness of their productions in an automatic way? In this paper, we introduce our attempts to provide effective feedback when we train native speakers of Japanese to produce English /r/ and /l/. First, we adopted spectrographic representation overlayed with formant frequencies as feedback. Second, we investigated the correl...
متن کاملComputer Assisted Pronunciation Training: Target- ing Second Language Vowel Perception Improves Pronunciation
This paper first provides an overview of factors that constrain ultimate attainment in adult second language (L2) pronunciation, finding that first language influence and the quantity and quality of L2 phonetic input account for much of the variation in the degree of foreign accent found across adult L2 learners. The author then evaluates current approaches to computer assisted pronunciation tr...
متن کاملLanguage dependent vowel representation in speech production.
The representation of speech goals was explored using an auditory feedback paradigm. When talkers produce vowels the formant structure of which is perturbed in real time, they compensate to preserve the intended goal. When vowel formants are shifted up or down in frequency, participants change the formant frequencies in the opposite direction to the feedback perturbation. In this experiment, th...
متن کاملSecond language speech production
The study of second langiage (L2) speech production has a long history in second language (SLA) research, both for what it can tell us about the development of the specific skill and how it might illuminate the general processes of SLA. Over time, studies in L2 phonological attainment have become a battleground for perennial issues in SLA research encompassing cognitive, psychological, and soci...
متن کاملEffect of Vowel Auditory Training on the Speech-In-Noise Perception among Older Adults with Normal Hearing
Introduction: Aging reduces the ability to understand speech in noise. Hearing rehabilitation is one of the ways to help older people communicate effectively. This study aimed to investigate the effect of vowel auditory training on the improvement of speech-in-noise (SIN) perception among elderly listeners. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted on 36 elderly ...
