Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Qian, Manman; Chukharev-Hudilainen, Evgeny; Levis, John – Language Learning & Technology, 2018
Many types of L2 phonological perception are often difficult to acquire without instruction. These difficulties with perception may also be related to intelligibility in production. Instruction on perception contrasts is more likely to be successful with the use of phonetically variable input made available through computer-assisted pronunciation…

Two Phonetic-Training Procedures for Young Learners: Investigating Instructional Effects on Perceptual Awareness
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Lacabex, Esther Gómez; Gallardo del Puerto, Francisco – Canadian Modern Language Review, 2014
This study investigated the effect of two distinct computer-based phonetic training procedures administered in an English-as-a-foreign-language (EFL) classroom with young learners. Students' perceptual awareness of the occurrence of an English schwa in an unstressed position in content words was tested in two experimental groups, which underwent…

Some Effects of Laboratory Training on Identification and Discrimination of Voicing Contrasts in Stop Consonants.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Pisconi, David B.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 1982
Three experiments examined the perception of a three-way voicing contrast by monolingual speakers of English. The results demonstrate that the perceptual mechanisms used by adults in categorizing stop consonants can be modified easily with simple laboratory techniques in a short period of time. (Author/PN)

Computer-Based Aural Training: The GUIDO System.
Hofstetter, Fred T. – Journal of Computer-Based Instruction, 1981
Describes how the University of Delaware's Grade Units for Interactive Dictation (GUIDO) system is used to improve instructional delivery and educational research in aural skills development. Instruction consists of musical dictation exercises and there are five programs available in two modes--drill-and-practice and heuristic (discovery).…

Deihl, Ned C. – 1969
A feasibility (development) course investigating Computer Assisted Instruction in instrumental music was designed and administered over an eight-week trial period to 14 clarinetists of varying ability in grades seven through ten. The course concentrated on articulation, phrasing, and rhythm. Generally, a dual program was developed. 1) an aural…

The Development of Open Drills in the Context of Computer-Based Ear Training.
Prevel, Martin – Journal of Computer-Based Instruction, 1982
Describes research in music education at Laval University in which students receive auditory training using a microprocessor-based hardware system. Topics include intervals, chord quality, scale degrees, diatonic tonal functions, rhythmic, melodic and harmonic dictation, jazz chord quality, microtones, and fundamentals. Students maintain full…
