Does Studying in a Music-oriented Education Program Affect Non-native Sound Learning? — Effects of Passive Auditory Training on Children’s Vowel Production
نویسندگان
چکیده
Earlier studies have shown that children are efficient second language learners. Research has also musical background might affect learning. A two-day auditory training paradigm was used to investigate whether studying in a music-oriented education program affects children’s sensitivity acquire non-native vowel contrast. Training effects were measured with listen-and-repeat production tests. Two groups of monolingual Finnish (9–11 years, N=23) attending and regular fourth grades tested. The stimuli two semisynthetic pseudo words /ty:ti/ /tʉ:ti/ the native /y/ /ʉ/ embedded. Both changed their pronunciation after first training. change reflected formant values /ʉ/, which lowered significantly three trainings. results show 9–11-year-old benefit from passive learning regardless or not they attend program.

15 صفحه اولLearning of a non-native vowel through instructed production training
Models of second language acquisition predict that adults are unlikely to learn to produce a non-native vowel very quickly due to their reduced sensitivity to acoustic features not phonological in their native language. Earlier studies show that attention focusing training and articulatory instructions can facilitate learning of non-native speech sounds. We used an instructed listen-and-repeat ...

Distributional learning studies investigating the acquisition of the Dutch contrast /ɑ/-/a:/ by nonnative Dutch learners have reported mixed results. The present study extends the literature by examining whether (i) naïve listeners are able to extract the distribution structure of a sequence of/ɑ//aː/ tokens drawn from a continuum,; and (ii) differential effects exist between naturalistic vs. e...

Does interest in language learning affect the non-native phoneme production in elderly learners?
Second language (L2) learning is widely studied in adult learners. This study was conducted in order to see how auditory training affects elderly learners’ L2 speech production and whether linguistically oriented seniors can benefit more from training compared to seniors not showing special interest in foreign languages. Hence, we studied seniors recruited from language courses and seniors with...
