20210818T143020210818T1800Europe/AmsterdamS073 2/2 | L2 Pronunciation Teaching and Training: Different Approaches
In the last two decades, there has been an increase in the number of studies focusing on L2 pronunciation instruction and perceptual/production training. This is a consequence of the fact that new classroom methodologies have been proposed and new goals for L2 pronunciation have been set, causing this subfield of Applied Linguistics to become more heterogeneous and complex. In this sense, studies on L2 pronunciation and training have contributed to different fields of Linguistics, such as Phonetics and Phonology, Psycholinguistics and Language Acquisition, L2 Teaching, amongst many others. The aim of this symposium is to congregate these different approaches and emphases of L2 Pronunciation Research in the classroom or in the laboratory. We therefore welcome papers that address L2 pronunciation teaching or training in their diversity of approaches, goals, methods and background theories. By allowing for this diversity of approaches and methods, we expect this symposium to represent an opportunity to gather researchers who are willing to share their experiences in their different research realities and classroom scenarios. We hope, therefore, that this symposium reflects the richness and importance of this subfield of Applied Linguistics.

To ensure smooth communication and collaboration, here are some troubleshooting tips to address common issues:
Check Internet Connection: Verify that you have a stable and reliable internet connection. Use a wired connection when possible, as it tends to be more stable than Wi-Fi. If using Wi-Fi, make sure you have a strong signal.
Update the Browser or App: Ensure that you are using the latest version of the web browser. Developers frequently release updates to address bugs and improve performance.
Clear Browser Cache: Sometimes, cached data can cause conflicts or issues. Clear the browser cache and cookies before joining the meeting.
Test Audio and Video: Before the meeting, check your microphone and camera to ensure they are working correctly. If you are a speaker, you can click on "Start Practice Session" button test to ensure audio and video devices are functioning.
Close Other Applications: Running multiple applications in the background can consume system resources and lead to performance issues. Close unnecessary apps to free up resources for the Dryfta meeting platform.
Restart Your Device: If you encounter persistent issues, try restarting your computer or mobile device. This can help resolve various software-related problems.
Use Supported Browsers: Ensure you are using a browser supported by the meeting platform. Recommended browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Brave.
Allow Necessary Permissions: Make sure the Dryfta meeting platform has the required permissions to access your microphone, camera, and other necessary features.
Disable VPN or Firewall: Sometimes, VPNs or firewalls can interfere with the connection to the meeting platform. Temporarily disable them and see if the issue persists.
Switch Devices: If possible, try joining the meeting from a different device to see if the problem is specific to one device.
Reduce Bandwidth Usage: In cases of slow or unstable internet connections, ask participants to disable video or share video selectively to reduce bandwidth consumption.
Update Drivers and Software: Ensure your operating system, audio drivers, and video drivers are up to date. Outdated drivers can cause compatibility issues with the Dryfta meeting platform.
Contact Support: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, reach out to the platform's support team. They can provide personalized assistance and troubleshoot specific problems.
By following these troubleshooting tips, you can tackle many common problems encountered on Dryfta meeting platform and have a more productive and seamless meeting experience.

The impact of multimodal phonetic training on L2 perception: a study on French learners of Dutch in BelgiumView Abstract Watch Recording 0FeaturedAILA Symposium02:30 PM - 06:00 PM (Europe/Amsterdam) 2021/08/18 12:30:00 UTC - 2022/08/18 16:00:00 UTC
This study explores the impact of multimodal high variability phonetic training on five L2 Dutch vowel and consonant contrasts for L1 French learners of Dutch in Belgium. Training effects are calculated by comparing pre-, post- and delayed post-test scores on lexical decision tasks for an experimental and a control group.
Speech technologies and pronunciation training : what potential for efficient corrective feedback?View Abstract Watch Recording 0StandardAILA Symposium02:30 PM - 06:00 PM (Europe/Amsterdam) 2021/08/18 12:30:00 UTC - 2022/08/18 16:00:00 UTC
Recently, Web 2.0 and mobile applications have become an endless source of new technological tools that integrate Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR). Their use in learning environments has led to a growing interest by researchers whose studies demonstrate the effectiveness of these tools in relation to acquiring L2 pronunciation, to developing oral proficiency in general, and to providing instantaneous individualized feedback. In this presentation, we will examine different types of corrective feedback (CF) that ASR-based applications can provide and we will report the results of our action research on the use of different ASR-based tools in two pronunciation courses.
Improving L2 pronunciation learning at school by two different teaching approachesView Abstract StandardAILA Symposium02:30 PM - 06:00 PM (Europe/Amsterdam) 2021/08/18 12:30:00 UTC - 2022/08/18 16:00:00 UTC
Foreign language pronunciation learning can be improved at school. German speaking pupils improved their pronunciation of a French vowel phonemic contrast after focused instruction. Pronunciation teaching with a communicative phonologically targeted pedagogy is as efficient as an articulatory pedagogy. However, differences between the two teaching methods can be observed when the results are analysed by phoneme. Implications are discussed for teacher formation and learning processes.

An extra layer of support: Developing an English speaking consultation training programView Abstract Watch Recording 0StandardAILA Symposium02:30 PM - 06:00 PM (Europe/Amsterdam) 2021/08/18 12:30:00 UTC - 2022/08/18 16:00:00 UTC
Nonnative speakers of English may not be fully equipped to communicate effectively through the oral mode. With this in mind, and through English proficiency testing and a needs analysis on oral communication, Iowa State University has developed a training program to prepare graduate students to become English Speaking Consultants.

The use of the ICF-model in the assessment and instruction of second language learners.View Abstract Watch Recording 0StandardAILA Symposium02:30 PM - 06:00 PM (Europe/Amsterdam) 2021/08/18 12:30:00 UTC - 2022/08/18 16:00:00 UTC
The ‘International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health’ is a framework, often used in healthcare, that focuses on functioning and participation, taking into account personal and environmental factors. It assists in: identifying influencing factors, providing input to enable appropriate goalsetting and helping to view the individual L2-learner as a whole.

The Improvement of Fossilized English Phonemes by Studying an ICT self-learning system with the Learner’s Self-videos Pronouncing EnglishView Abstract Watch Recording 0Standard02:30 PM - 06:00 PM (Europe/Amsterdam) 2021/08/18 12:30:00 UTC - 2022/08/18 16:00:00 UTC
The aim of this paper is to examine whether an ICT self-learning system with learner’s self-videos pronouncing English could improve English fossilized phonemes of English alphabet for advanced and primary leveled Japanese university students. The ICT system was proven to help both students improve their fossilized pronunciation.

Diagnostic tests show deficiencies in the basic decoding and coding abilities of new arrivals, even after years of learning Swedish. The traditional view on pronunciation training needs to be expanded towards development of the code level abilities in reading, writing, listening and speaking.

Teaching of English Pronunciation to Advanced ESL Learners: Perceptual Training or Production Training?View Abstract Watch Recording 0FocusedAILA Symposium02:30 PM - 06:00 PM (Europe/Amsterdam) 2021/08/18 12:30:00 UTC - 2022/08/18 16:00:00 UTC
This paper gives some suggestions for L2 pronunciation teaching which can help ESL learners overcome their problems with the perception and production of L2 English speech sounds. It argues that both speech perception and speech production should be given comparable pedagogical attention in an advanced ESL classroom.
