Asma Afreen; Bonny Norton – Modern Language Journal, 2024

Developing Interpreter Trainees' Speech Comprehensibility: Does Nativeness of the Instructor Matter?
Mahmood Yenkimaleki; Vincent J. van Heuven – TESL-EJ, 2024
This study examines the effect of native "vs." non-native prosody instruction on developing interpreter trainees' speech comprehensibility in English as a foreign language (EFL) using a pretest-posttest-delayed posttest design. Twenty-three groups of 28 interpreter trainees at a University in Iran (six different branches) took part in…

Efthymia C. Kapnoula; Arthur G. Samuel – Language Learning, 2024
Some listeners exhibit higher sensitivity to subphonemic acoustic differences (i.e., higher speech gradiency). Here, we asked whether higher gradiency in a listener's first language (L1) facilitates foreign language learning and explored the possible sources of individual differences in L1 gradiency. To address these questions, we tested 164…
