  • Technology and Pronunciation

    Open AccessJennifer A FooteCHAPTEREncyclopedia of Applied Linguistics2026

    Pronunciation research and technology have become increasingly intertwined. Technology has opened new ways to study speech and new possibilities for learners hoping to improve their pronunciation. While instruments such as Real‐Time Magnetic Resonance Imaging (RT MRI) and ultrasound enable a better understanding of how speech sounds are produced, speech analysis software and the increased availability of large collections of speech (corpora) make…

  • Developing a user-oriented second language comprehensibility scale for English-medium universities

    Open AccessTony Isaacs, Pavel Trofimovich et al.ARTICLELanguage Testing2018

    There is growing research on the linguistic features that most contribute to making second language (L2) speech easy or difficult to understand. Comprehensibility, which is usually captured through listener judgments, is increasingly viewed as integral to the L2 speaking construct. However, there are shortcomings in how this construct is operationalized in L2 speaking proficiency scales. Moreover, teachers and learners have little practical means…

  • Interactive Alignment of Multisyllabic Stress Patterns in a Second Language Classroom

    Open AccessPavel Trofimovich, Kim Mcdonough et al.ARTICLETESOL Quarterly2014Cited by: 2References: 41

    The current study explored the occurrence of stress pattern alignment during peer interaction in a second language (L2) classroom. Interactive alignment is a sociocognitive phenomenon in which interlocutors reuse each other's expressions, structures, and pronunciation patterns during conversation. Students (N = 41) enrolled in a university-level English for academic purposes class completed four collaborative tasks during a 13-week semester. The …

  • Opening the Window on Comprehensible Pronunciation After 19 Years

    Open AccessTracey M Derwing, Murray J Munro et al.ARTICLELanguage Learning2014Cited by: 7References: 25

    We present the outcomes of a pronunciation training program conducted in a workplace setting with second language speakers who had lived in an English-speaking environment for an average of 19 years. The research questions concerned whether improvement would occur in the learners' perception of certain segments and prosody; in the comprehensibility, accentedness, and fluency of their productions as judged by listeners; and in their speech intelli…

  • Survey of the Teaching of Pronunciation in Adult ESL Programs in Canada, 2010

    Open AccessJennifer A Foote, Amy K Holtby et al.ARTICLETESL Canada Journal2012

    This follow-up study reexamines the state of the teaching of pronunciation in ESL classes across Canada. The purpose of the survey was twofold: to gain a snapshot of current practices and to compare this with the picture of 10 years ago. We based the current work on Breitkreutz, Derwing, and Rossiter’s (2001) survey asking teachers about resources, approaches, and beliefs about teaching pronunciation. We also asked for background information abou…
