However, this technology can be costly as it requires development and maintenance, placing it\u0000 beyond the means of many institutions. This study investigates the feasibility of assessing English second language pronunciation in\u0000 placement tests through the use of a free automatic speech recognition tool, Google Voice Typing (GVT). We compared human-rated and\u0000 GVT-rated scores of 56 pronunciation placement tests. Our results indicate a strong correlation between scores for the final rating and for\u0000 each criterion on the rubric used by human raters. We conclude that leveraging this free speech technology could increase the test\u0000 usefulness of language placement tests.","PeriodicalId":91766,"journal":{"name":"Journal of second language pronunciation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141380645","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Four\u0000 linguistically trained graduate students evaluated the samples for segmental accuracy, speech rate, word stress and intonation.\u0000 Results of linear mixed models indicated no significant effect of raters’ L1 variety on global comprehensibility and accentedness\u0000 ratings. While American and British raters relied on same pronunciation features in their comprehensibility judgments, they placed\u0000 different levels of importance on pronunciation features when making accentedness judgments. Particularly, both groups primarily\u0000 exhibited sensitivity towards segmental errors in their assessments of accentedness, whereas American raters demonstrated an\u0000 additional sensitivity to intonation.

Fourteen college students, randomly divided into the “authentic” and “textbook” groups, shadowed for four weeks. From the pretest to the posttest, both groups significantly improved tone accuracy in sentence-level spontaneous speech with no significant differences between groups. Quantitative and qualitative analyses of learners’ responses show that (1) both groups had positive attitudes toward the materials, (2) authentic materials generated greater interest, and learners appreciated shadowing authentic conversations or conversations that mimic natural discourse, and (3) the learners primarily cared about whether the materials were comprehensible, interesting, and accessible. The findings shed light on using authentic materials to teach L2 pronunciation.","PeriodicalId":91766,"journal":{"name":"Journal of second language pronunciation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141107246","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
