Examining the role of explicit phonetic instruction in native-like and comprehensible pronunciation development: an instructed SLA approach to L2 phonology

Language Awareness, 2011
This paper reports on an instructed second language acquisition study that investigated the effects of explicit phonetic instruction on second language pronunciation by adopting two different outcome measurements (i.e. a rubric of accentedness as well as comprehensibility). Twenty native Japanese learners of English in ESL (English as a second language)

Short term phonetic and phonological changes during Spanish instruction.

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2010
Several studies have shown that phonetic and phonological categories of both languages interact in bilingual speakers [e.g., speech learning model; Flege (1995)]. Interestingly, these categories continuously change over a period of time, drifting toward the characteristics of the ambient language. [Sancier and Fowler (1997)].

The phonetic effect in preschool children: The influence of overt rehearsal and verbal instructions

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1975
Abstract Preschoolers' serial matching of picture lists composed of either phonetically similar or unrelated items was compared under three types of conditions. The lower retention of phonetic lists had been used as an index of verbal mediation by Conrad (1971, 1972) who found that preschoolers did not show differential retention, and hence no verbal

Infusing social justice in the development and instruction of a course on the history of phonetics

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2023
We describe the design and implementation of a mixed undergraduate and graduate seminar on the history of phonetics (from the mid-19th to mid-20th centuries). The goal of the course was to teach and learn about the history of the field using a pedagogical framework in which all aspects of the course are framed with the values of antiracism, social ...

First language phonetic drift in second language instructional environment

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2018
Recent research demonstrates that second language learning can affect first language speech production. This has been shown for proficient long-term second language learners in immigration settings (Flege, 1987) as well as novice learners in the study abroad setting (Chang, 2013).

EXPLICIT HISTORICAL, PHONETIC, AND PHONOLOGICAL INSTRUCTION IN SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION

2022
The question of whether second languages (L2s) are best learned implicitly or explicitly has been a topic of much empirical discourse, with the majority of studies pointing to the benefits of explicit instruction when learning L2 grammar rules. However, given the focus on grammar, it is unclear how generalizable these findings are to other linguistic ...
