Presentation
We are a group of researchers investigating the acquisition of second language (L2) speech in all of its perceptual and productive dimensions. We seek to gain a better understanding of the (psycho)linguistic processes and mechanisms involved in the development of non-native phonologies and the pronunciation of second/foreign languages and their interaction with contextual and individual learning factors. We meet twice every academic year to share our research, discuss experimental methods and explore new research questions. The focus of our research includes the following areas:
- Individual differences in L2 speech learning
- Phonetic training
- Phonological awareness
- Foreign accent, fluency, comprehensibility and intelligibility of non-native speech
- Cross-language speech perception and production
- Bilingual speech acquisition
- Pronunciation teaching and learning
