Dear linguists,
I'm posting this mail on behalf of one of my colleagues who is interested in L2 speech perception and recently asked if there was any paper/study which proved/disproved phonetically or psychologically that ''L2 learners are weak in noise''(i.e. the listening comprehension score of L2 learners is more influenced by noise by that of L1 speakers). He observed the phenomenon from his personal teaching experience that his Japanese students cannot comprehend some English sounds in an noisy environment which the same students can tell 100% in a quiet language laboratory. I've had a similar experience, and we wondered if it has been proven, or it is just our imagination. Can anybody help us? Thank you very much. =================================== Shinichi TOKUMA (Dr) Dept of English Language and Literature, Sagami Women's University, 2-1-1, Bunkyo, Sagami-hara, 228-8533, Kanagawa, JAPAN e-mail:tokuma@sagami-wu.ac.jp |
