Recent neurological breakthroughs in our understanding of the Critical Period Hypothesis and prosody may suggest strategies on how phonics instruction could improve L2 language learning and in particular phoneme/grapheme decoding. We therefore conducted a randomised controlled-trial on the application of prosody and phonics techniques, to improve phoneme-grapheme decoding, to test these findings on a typical late high school cohort of Italians. A trial group of 24, 17-18 year-olds followed a short 10-week, 20-hour trial course and were compared to a control (14 students) preparing for the Cambridge First Certificate exam. The trial group were given phoneme/grapheme decoding material and event-related-potential reinforcement in substitution of traditional exam practice, taught from a current textbook and web-site material. Results showed that the trial-group significantly improved in both orthography (p=0.048) and pronunciation (p=0.000), in particular in the long vowel and digraph categories. Furthermore, they significantly improved in a shortened interview category (p=0.024), for lexis, discourse and pronunciation. Due to the trial’s small size, we concentrated on reducing type 2 statistical errors to a minimum. We believe that our results confirmed the neurological findings of the use of prosody in TESOL and confirmed the validity of phonics techniques for L2 teaching. We also consider that the results are sufficiently robust to warrant a full-sized trial of phonics and prosody as a valid TESOL teaching technique

意大利高中英语作为第二语言的基于语音的语音教学中的音素-字素解码:随机对照试验

在我们对关键时期假说和韵律的理解中,最近的神经学突破可能会提出有关语音教学如何改善第二语言学习尤其是音素/字素解码的策略。因此,我们对韵律和语音技术的应用进行了一项随机对照试验,以改善音素-音素解码,并在典型的高中后期意大利人中测试这些发现。一个由24个17-18岁的青少年组成的试验小组参加了为期10周,为时20小时的简短试用课程,并与准备参加剑桥第一证书考试的对照组(14名学生)进行了比较。向试验组提供了音素/字形解码材料,并增强了事件相关电位,以替代传统的考试实践,这是根据当前的教科书和网站材料进行的。结果表明,该试验组在拼字法(p = 0.048)和发音(p = 0.000)方面都有显着改善,特别是在长元音和二字组合中。此外,在词汇,话语和发音方面,他们在缩短的面试类别(p = 0.024)方面有了显着改善。由于试验规模小,我们集中精力将2型统计误差降低到最小。我们相信我们的结果证实了在TESOL中使用韵律的神经学发现,并证实了语音技术对L2教学的有效性。我们还认为,结果具有足够的鲁棒性,足以作为有效的TESOL教学技术来进行完整的语音和韵律试验 此外,在词汇,话语和发音方面,他们在缩短的面试类别(p = 0.024)方面有了显着改善。由于试验规模小,我们集中精力将2型统计误差降低到最小。我们相信我们的结果证实了在TESOL中使用韵律的神经学发现,并证实了语音技术对L2教学的有效性。我们还认为,结果具有足够的鲁棒性,足以作为有效的TESOL教学技术来进行完整的语音和韵律试验 此外,在词汇,话语和发音方面,他们在缩短的面试类别(p = 0.024)方面有了显着改善。由于试验规模小,我们集中精力将2型统计误差降低到最小。我们相信我们的结果证实了在TESOL中使用韵律的神经学发现,并证实了语音技术对L2教学的有效性。我们还认为,结果具有足够的鲁棒性,足以作为有效的TESOL教学技术来进行完整的语音和韵律试验 我们相信我们的结果证实了在TESOL中使用韵律的神经学发现,并证实了语音技术对L2教学的有效性。我们还认为,结果具有足够的鲁棒性,足以作为有效的TESOL教学技术来进行完整的语音和韵律试验 我们相信我们的结果证实了在TESOL中使用韵律的神经学发现,并证实了语音技术对L2教学的有效性。我们还认为,结果具有足够的鲁棒性,足以作为有效的TESOL教学技术来进行完整的语音和韵律试验
