CAPT and its Effect on English Language Pronunciation Enhancement: Evidence from Bilinguals and Monolinguals
Nowadays there are several challenges for English teachers as well as researchers regarding how to teach foreign language pronunciation more effectively. The current study aimed to explore the effect of computer-assisted pronunciation teaching (CAPT) on Persian monolinguals and Turkmen- Persian and also Baloch- Persian bilinguals’ pronunciation considering production and perception. A sample of...
متن کاملBilingualism alters brain functional connectivity between "control" regions and "language" regions: Evidence from bimodal bilinguals.
Previous neuroimaging studies have revealed that bilingualism induces both structural and functional neuroplasticity in the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) and the left caudate nucleus (LCN), both of which are associated with cognitive control. Since these "control" regions should work together with other language regions during language processing, we hypothesized that bilingualism may...
متن کاملInteractivity During Spoken Word Recognition: Evidence from Bimodal Bilinguals
We explore the role of top-down information in language processing by investigating parallel language activation in bimodal bilinguals, who are fluent users of a spoken and a signed language. In an eye-tracking study, bimodal bilinguals showed activation of their signed language while receiving input in English only. Since spoken and signed languages do not share structure, the results suggest ...
متن کاملThe source of enhanced cognitive control in bilinguals: evidence from bimodal bilinguals.
Bilinguals often outperform monolinguals on nonverbal tasks that require resolving conflict from competing alternatives. The regular need to select a target language is argued to enhance executive control. We investigated whether this enhancement stems from a general effect of bilingualism (the representation of two languages) or from a modality constraint that forces language selection. Bimoda...
متن کاملParallel language activation and inhibitory control in bimodal bilinguals.
Findings from recent studies suggest that spoken-language bilinguals engage nonlinguistic inhibitory control mechanisms to resolve cross-linguistic competition during auditory word recognition. Bilingual advantages in inhibitory control might stem from the need to resolve perceptual competition between similar-sounding words both within and between their two languages. If so, these advantages s...
