Learning 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 ...
متن کاملThe Effect of English Vowel-Recognition Training on Beginner and Advanced Iranian ESL Learners
This study was an attempt to investigate the effect of vowel-recognition training on beginner and advanced Iranian ESL learners. A total of 36 adult Iranian ESL learners (18 advanced and 18 beginners) who were students of various majors at Memorial University (MUN) were recruited for the study. Advanced participants had the experience of living in Canada for at least three years while beginners...
متن کاملTen experiments on vowel segregation
This report describes ten experiments on concurrent vowel segregation and identification. Experiments are numbered from 1 to 10. Experiment 1 was designed to be sensitive to a variety of hypothetical mechanisms by which frequency modulation (FM) might affect identification. The results were mostly negative, in the sense that no effect was found that could not be attributed to other factors. The...
متن کاملPersonal computer software vowel training aid for the hearing impaired
A vowel training aid system for hearing impaired persons which uses a Windows-based multimedia computer has been developed. The system provides two main displays which give visual feedback for vowels spoken in isolation and short word contexts. Feature extraction methods and neural network processing techniques provide a high degree of accuracy for speaker independent vowel training. The system...
متن کاملDistributional vowel training may not be effective for Dutch adults
Distributional vowel training for adults has been reported as “effective” for Spanish and Bulgarian learners of Dutch vowels, in studies using a behavioural task. A recent study did not yield a similar clear learning effect for Dutch learners of the English vowel contrast /æ/~/ε/, as measured with event-related potentials (ERPs). The present study aimed to examine the possibility that the latte...
