Second language learning and the teaching of pronunciation in Swiss high schools

Responsible: Stephan Schmid

Project description

In second language learning at school, the teaching of pronunciation is often neglected. In a number of case studies, several segmental aspects (in particular obstruent voicing and VOT in plosives) have been investigated in different L1-L2 pairs, e.g., L2 French and Italian of Swiss German  learners or L2 German of Italophone learners. Moreover, the efficiency of explicit pronunciation training is evaluated.
