One of the basic goals of second language (L2) speech research is to understand the
perception-production link, or the relationship between L2 speech perception and L2 …

To date, a growing number of studies have shown that domain‐general auditory processing,
which prior work has linked to L1 acquisition, could explain various dimensions of …

The present study explored whether listening to songs and singing can improve second
language pronunciation and vocabulary learning at beginning stages of language …

Scholars have extensively investigated the effectiveness of high variability phonetic training
(HVPT), that is, identification and discrimination of second language speech sounds …

There is more interest in individual differences than ever before. Researchers continue to
expand the conceptual basis of individual difference work, introducing and validating new …

Growing evidence suggests a broad relationship between individual differences in auditory
processing ability and the rate and ultimate attainment of language acquisition throughout …

Talker variability has been reported to facilitate generalization and retention of speech
learning, but is also shown to place demands on cognitive resources. Our recent study …

Purpose: This study investigated the efficacy of ultrasound biofeedback compared to a
traditional acoustic input–only method in the second-language (L2) production training of …

The current study extends traditional perceptual high-variability phonetic training (HVPT) in
a foreign language learning context by implementing a comprehensive training paradigm …

Longitudinal research methods often call to mind studies of various lengths. However,
longitudinal research involves complex decisions related to study length, number of …
