Pauline van der Straten Waillet; Kathryn Crowe; Brigitte Charlier; Cécile Colin – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2025
Evidence is lacking on the impact of bilingualism on the speech skills of children with cochlear implants (CIs). This study described the speech production of children with CIs acquiring French and one or more additional spoken languages. Four groups of children aged 4-11 were included: bilinguals (n = 15) and monolinguals (n = 14) with CIs and…

Ta Hong Thuong – Journal of Second Language Acquisition and Teaching, 2024
This study aimed to develop a Vietnamese word recognition test for Taiwanese undergraduate students and to investigate students' performances at different learning stages. The formal test consists of 100 words as test items. With each word, test takers were asked to select the correct Vietnamese word form corresponding to the pronunciation they…

Ha, Seunghee – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2023
Aims: To investigate the developmental trajectory of the rate and perceptual assessment of oral diadochokinesis (DDK) in typically developing children compared with adults. Also to examine the characteristics of DDK productions in children with speech sound disorders (SSD) and the relationship between DDK production and percentage of consonants…

Meziane, Rabia Sabah; MacLeod, Andrea A. N. – Journal of Child Language, 2023
This study aims to describe the relationships between child-internal and child-external factors and the consonant accuracy of bilingual children. More specifically, the study looks at internal factors: expressive and receptive vocabulary, and external factors: language exposure and language status, of a group of 4-year-old bilingual Arabic-French…

Stouffer, Joe – Reading Teacher, 2023
In this article, the author presents a teaching prompt--Write-it-Out--to instruct readers who seemingly guess at words with no or limited use of grapheme-phonemic correspondences to recontextualize word-solving into writing. Through the nature of this prompt, slowing down the pace of solving words on the run with writing also reciprocally builds…

Akshay R. Maggu; Xinyuan Shi; Rene Kager; Patrick C. M. Wong; Carol K. S. To – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2025
Purpose: Speech sound disorder (SSD) is one of the major speech disorders in school-age children. Given the heterogeneity in terms of subtypes within SSD, there is a need to develop techniques for a quick identification of these subtypes. Furthermore, given the paucity of studies from children with SSD from Cantonese-speaking homes and a noted…

Leah Durán; Katie A. Bernstein – Journal of Early Childhood Literacy, 2024
This paper describes name-related literacy practices in a multilingual preschool classroom and their implications for emergent biliteracy. We draw on a translingual framework to understand children's name-writing activities and how bilingual children's early literacy interacts with, and at times disrupts, the written conventions of named…

Laura Machart; Anne Vilain; Hélène Lœvenbruck; Mark Tiede; Lucie Ménard – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: One of the strategies that can be used to support speech communication in deaf children is cued speech, a visual code in which manual gestures are used as additional phonological information to supplement the acoustic and labial speech information. Cued speech has been shown to improve speech perception and phonological skills. This…

Myers, Brett R.; Watson, Duane G. – Cognitive Science, 2021
Rhythmic structure in speech is characterized by sequences of stressed and unstressed syllables. A large body of literature suggests that speakers of English attempt to achieve rhythmic harmony by evenly distributing stressed syllables throughout prosodic phrases. The question remains as to how speakers plan metrical structure during speech…

S.; Aukner, R.; Jackson Morris, D.; Nielsen, S. F.; Semb, G.; Lohmander, A.; Persson, C. – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2023
Background & Aim: To assess consonant proficiency and velopharyngeal function in 10-year-old children born with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) within the Scandcleft project. Methods & Procedures: Three parallel group, randomized, clinical trials were undertaken as an international multicentre study by nine cleft teams in five…

Rose, Céline; McBride, Adam F. – Foreign Language Annals, 2023
As an overwhelming amount of research has demonstrated that educator preparation programs do not adequately prepare instructors to teach pronunciation, this study aims to help teachers of foreign languages to implement and improve pronunciation instruction (PI) in their classroom by adapting PACE (Presentation, Attention, Co-construction, and…

Elizabeth E. Ancel; Michael L. Smith; V. N. Vimal Rao; Benjamin Munson – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: The /[voiced alveolar approximant]/ productions of young children acquiring American English are highly variable and often inaccurate, with [w] as the most common substitution error. One acoustic indicator of the goodness of children's /[voiced alveolar approximant]/ productions is the difference between the frequency of the second…

Rebecca Treiman; Brett Kessler – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
The English writing system is often seen as having rules that govern the choice between alternative pronunciations of letters but as having many exceptions to the rules. One postulated rule, the V¯|CV rule, is that a vowel is pronounced as long rather than short when it is followed by a single consonant letter plus a vowel letter. We find, in an…

Saloranta, Antti; Heikkola, Leena Maria; Peltola, Maija S. – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2022
Phonological duration differences in quantity languages can be problematic for second language learners whose native language does not use duration contrastively. Recent studies have found improvement in the processing of non-native vowel duration contrasts with the use of listen-and-repeat training, and the current study explores the efficacy of…

Zuzanna Cal; Magdalena Wrembel – International Journal of Multilingualism, 2025
The study aimed to analyse the production of plosive sounds by trilingual speakers of L1 Polish - L2 English - L3 Norwegian. The main objective was to trace any changes in the VOT production of fortis and lenis stops in all three languages (Polish, English and Norwegian) produced by novice L3 learners with a focus on possible cross-linguistic…
