“…However, there has been limited applied research on systems aimed at fostering metaphonological awareness (Wrembel, 2011), despite its potential to facilitate L2 pronunciation acquisition (e.g. Kivistö-de Souza, 2017;Saito, 2019). The few previous tools focusing on metaphonological skills, such as phonetic transcription, showed promise (e.g.…”

‘Accents’ is an annual conference organized by the Department of English Language and Applied Linguistics in Institute of English Studies at University of Lódź, Poland. The first edition of ‘Accents’ conference took place in 2007 and is successfully continued since. It brings together researchers and teachers interested in native and non-native accents of English approached from a variety of theoretical and/or practical perspectives. The key issues discussed each year include individual accent characteristics, the dynamism of accent usage, accent teaching and learning, and the methods and tools for accent studies. The leitmotif of Accents 2023 revolves around numerous accent varieties and their impact on perception and identity as well as native and non-native accent production, accent teaching/learning, perceptual training and its effectiveness in the language classroom and in the language laboratory.

“…This influence transfers to the past tense morpheme where the voiced consonant /b/ requires a voiced past tense morpheme /d/. (Souza, 2017) stated that L2 phonotactics can also be learned "through initial conscious noticing" of the input learners are exposed to, which shows how frequent sounds distributions are (p. 187). Another task that can serve the teaching and learning of L2 phonotactics is the use of a judgment task together with word transformations, which Halicki (2010) described as "a powerful tool to probe L2 knowledge of target language phonotactics" (p. 178).…”

This paper investigates the perception of phonotactics by Saudi English majors, beginners and advanced. Due to the significance of pronunciation of consonant clusters, which are almost absent from Arabic, this work attempts to find the extent to which beginner and advanced English majors accept or reject permissible and impermissible sounds combinations in the onset position. It also attempts to find whether there are any intervening factors that could influence students’ perception of English phonotactics. The focus was on the consonant clusters occurring in onset position. These clusters included two-sound and three-sound clusters starting the word. Most of the words were pseudowords, and the focus was on whether the students would accept or reject these sounds, and whether there was a significant difference between beginner and advanced students, male and female. The paper also considered some intervening factors that could have influenced students' performance. To this end, the researcher conducted a survey to test the perception and rejection of certain sounds in some carefully selected pseudowords. The findings showed that most advanced students scored better in permissible sounds while the results were close in the impermissible sounds. There were some factors that could have had some impact on the results, such as living in an English-speaking community, watching English TV, and listening to the news in English. Suggestions for further research would include sounds in the coda position.

“…Dessa forma, tal construto passou a ser visto como um recurso cognitivo que exerce um papel na aprendizagem de L2, principalmente no seu processamento. Ainda que o trabalho deSchmidt (1990) tenha inaugurado, de certa forma, a discussão sobre o papel da atenção na percepção e produção em L2, posteriormente, poucos trabalhos no nosso país, no que diz respeito à área de aquisição fonético-fonológica de L2, se debruçaram sobre essa questão, embora ela venha sendo retomada discretamente(ALVES, ZIMMER, 2005a, 2005bGAUER, ALVES, 2020;GONÇALVES, 2020;KIVISTÖ-DE SOUZA, 2015;ZIMMER, ALVES, 2006). Dentro desse cenário, não só entender o papel exercido pelo componente atencional na aprendizagem de L2, como também explorar ou controlar tal variável no design de pesquisa, constituem tarefas importantes.…”

Neste artigo, propomos uma discussão teórica sobre as possíveis implicações atencionais no desenvolvimento fonético-fonológico bi/multilíngue. Para isso, partimos dos apontamentos feitos no Speech Learning Model, ao longo dos anos (FLEGE, 1995, 2003; FLEGE; BOHN, 2021), em relação ao componente cognitivo atencional. Discutiremos as seguintes questões latentes sobre atenção, não aprofundadas no SLM/SLM-r: (i) a possível relação direta entre proficiência e refinamento de categorias fonético-fonológicas; (ii) a conjugação entre percepção-produção, a qual perpassa, inevitavelmente, um contínuo de processamento entre armazenamento e recuperação de informações psico-acústicas; e (iii) o impacto metodológico de se considerar o construto ‘atenção’, associado ao SLM/SLM-r, nas coletas de dados de produção bilíngue. Tais lacunas psico-cognitivas dentro do modelo e, de forma geral, dentro da área de pesquisa, constituem desafios teóricos e metodológicos nos estudos de desenvolvimento bi/multilíngue, ainda mais numa perspectiva psicolinguística. Dessa forma, abrir o perímetro investigativo para questões mais amplas que envolvem a cognição bi/multilíngue pode contribuir, teórica e metodologicamente, para um maior entendimento do complexo processo de ensino-aprendizagem do componente fonético-fonológico de L2.
