摘要

本研究考察了一种翻译工具(Microsoft Translator - MT)及其内置的语音功能(Text-To-Speech synthesis - TTS - and speech recognition)是否能促进学习者自主地习得英语规则过去时-ed的发音。根据测试前/测试后的设计，我们比较了29名参与者在过去-ed异型音(/t/， /d/和/id/)上的表现，评估了他们在语音意识、音位辨别和口语发音方面的表现。研究结果强调了机器翻译在帮助英语学习者提高发音方面的教学价值。

Can online translators and their speech capabilities help English learners improve their pronunciation?

This study investigated whether a translation tool (Microsoft Translator – MT) and its built-in speech features (Text-To-Speech synthesis – TTS – and speech recognition) can promote learners’ acquisition in pronunciation of English regular past tense -ed in a self-directed manner. Following a pretest/posttest design, we compared 29 participants’ performances of past -ed allomorphy (/t/, /d/, and /id/) by assessing their pronunciation in terms of phonological awareness, phonemic discrimination, and oral production. The findings highlight the affordances of MT regarding its pedagogical use for helping English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners improve their pronunciation.
