We investigate how supervision (in the form of explicit instruction) interacts with distributional learning in the acquisition of the perception of a novel vowel contrast in a second language. An experiment with non-Dutch-speaking Bulgarians reveals that listeners who receive bimodal distributional training without explicit instruction can acquire new Dutch vowel contrasts, and that listeners w...
متن کاملGroup Dynamic Assessment: An Inventory of Mediational Strategies for Teaching Listening
Group dynamic assessment (G-DA) grounded in Vygotsky’s socio-cultural theory (SCT) is believed to have the potential to provide a context for capturing a group of learners’ Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) (Poehner & Lantolf, 2010; Shabani, 2010). The present study aims at testing the applicability of G-DA in identifying the mediational strategies offered by a mediator during his G-DA interac...
متن کاملThe Effect of Item Modality and Note-taking on EFL Learners’ Performance on a Listening Test
The pivotal role of listening comprehension in second/foreign language learning requires that researchers conduct studies which investigate factors that affect test takers’ performances. The present study was set out to examine whether item modality (i.e., written vs. oral items) affects listening comprehension test performance. In addition, it investigated whether allowing test takers to take ...
متن کاملUnsupervised learning of vowel categories from infant-directed speech.
Infants rapidly learn the sound categories of their native language, even though they do not receive explicit or focused training. Recent research suggests that this learning is due to infants' sensitivity to the distribution of speech sounds and that infant-directed speech contains the distributional information needed to form native-language vowel categories. An algorithm, based on Expectatio...

The blind suffer from sense disability. As a result of the lack of visual sense, they have many problems in learning and cognition. Experts believe that 80% of what children learn is possible through having visual sense. Therefore the blind can not learn things spontaneously the way normal people do. However, with the proper education it is possible to increase the level of progress in these c...
