Testing Pronunciation: An Application of Generalizability Theory.
van Weeren, J.; Theunissen, T. J. J. M.
Language Learning, v37 n1 p109-22 Mar 1987
A systematic and explicit approach to evaluation of pronunciation is proposed. Generalizability theory was applied in order to comprise all relevant factors in one psychomotor model. French and German pronunciation tests (in Appendix) were devised and evaluated. Common pronunciation problems for native Dutch speakers were incorporated. (Author/LMO)
