ABSTRACT

This study attempts to examine learning effects of expert-guided training on realizations of Englishstress. This study collected data from Korean English learners uttering ten English disyllabic words, and madea comparison between the Korean English learners and an American speaker with reference to the measurementsof vowel duration and F0. It compared two training methods: self-guided training using “listen-and-repeat”strategy vs. expert-guided training using explicit acoustic information. This study found that the Koreanspeakers made positive improvements in prosodic realizations through the two training methods and the expert-guided training offering specific acoustic information induced greater effectiveness. Therefore, it can beargued that they did benefit from the given acoustic information to correct their prosodic errors.
