Prioritizing Pronunciation Features for Intelligibility: A Perception Study of the French /E/ Vowels
Adam F. McBride; Céline Rose – Canadian Modern Language Review, 2025
Despite the fact that pronunciation is a vital aspect of language learning, previous research has shown that its instruction is limited in the classroom in terms of time and attention, due in part to the time constraints inherent in any curriculum. It then becomes essential for instructors to be strategic about the pronunciation features they…

Megan M. Dailey; Camille Straboni; Sharon Peperkamp – Second Language Research, 2024
During spoken word processing, native (L1) listeners use allophonic variation to predictively rule out word competitors and speed up word recognition.

Quirk, Erin; Cohen, Cathy – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2022
The cognate advantage in bilingual children varies in strength across groups and individuals, in particular on receptive measures (e.g. picture-identification). This variation may be due to children's developing ability to benefit from cognates in such tasks, yet longitudinal studies of this phenomenon, especially with older children, are rare.…

Latisha Mary; Andrea Susan Young – Language Awareness, 2023
Teachers in France working with (emergent) bilingual pupils often not only feel ill-equipped to provide the specific support these learners require, but also find it difficult to accept that languages other than French have a right and role as learning resources in the classroom. Challenging such monolingual mindsets whilst helping teachers to…
