Ozakin, Alev Senem; Xi, Xiaotong; Li, Peng; Prieto, Pilar – Language Learning and Development, 2023
The present study investigates whether training second language pronunciation with tactile cues facilitates the production of non-native sounds involving accessible articulatory features. In a between-subjects experiment with a pretest-training-posttest design, 50 Turkish learners of English received audiovisual training on a set of target words…
