Relations between enabling skills and reading comprehension: a follow-up study of Latvian students from first to second grade.
2004
Sprugevica, I. & Hoien, T. (2004). Relations between enabling skills and reading comprehension: A follow-up study of Latvian students from first to second grade. Scandinavian Journal of Psychology, 45, 115–122. In order to examine the relationships among various phonological skills and reading comprehension, Latvian children were followed from grade 1 to grade 2 and were tested with a battery of phonological, word reading, and reading comprehension tasks. A principal component analysis of the phonological tasks revealed three salient factors: a phonemic awareness factor, a rapid naming factor, and a short-term memory factor. In order to analyze the relationship between various phonological …
The Contribution of RAN Pause Time and Articulation Time to Reading Across Languages: Evidence From a More Representative Sample of Children
2014
We examined the relationship between rapid automatized naming (RAN) components – articulation time and pause time – and reading fluency across languages varying in orthographic consistency. Three hundred forty-seven Grade 4 children (82 Chinesespeaking Taiwanese children, 90 English-speaking Canadian children, 90 Greek-speaking Cypriot children, and 85 Finnish-speaking children) were assessed on RAN (Colors and Digits) and reading fluency (word reading efficiency and text reading speed). The results showed that articulation time accounted for more unique variance in reading in the alphabetic orthographies than in Chinese, and pause time for more unique variance in reading in Chinese than in…
Fonētisko traucējumu mazināšana vidējā pirmsskolas vecuma bērniem artikulācijas vingrinājumos
2022
Ar literatūras izpēti sākas jebkurš pētnieciskais darbs. (Albrehta, 1998, 9). Darba autore izvēlētajam darba tematam piemeklēja un aplūkoja daudzus literatūras avotus, lai sekmīgi veiktu pētījumu, kuri vienmēr balstās uz teorētiskiem uzskatiem, un kā tiks veikts arī šajā diplomdarbā. Darba autore 1. nodaļā veic teorētiskās literatūras analīzi, lai izzinātu noteiktā vecumposma (4-5 gadu jauna) bērna attīstības raksturojumu veselumā. 2.nodaļā autore pēta un analizē literatūru par runas traucējumu rašanās cēloņiem, izpausmēm un fonētisko traucējumu raksturojumu. Balstoties uz vairāku autoru darbiem, 3.nodaļā tika veikta izpēte par artikulācijas aparātu un tā vingrinājumiem, un artikulācijas ap…
Perception et traque de “l'accent etranger” : la production des voyelles orales en fle par des polonophones
2017
Our research fits in the overall framework of French as a Foreign Language oral teaching methods and focuses will deal with the phenomenon of “foreign accent”, those marks that reveal in transparency the presence of the phonological sieve of the mother tongue, and we will focus on the pronunciation of oral vowels in French by Polish-speaking learners. A preliminary study, descriptive and contrastive, of the phonological systems of Polish and French will allow us to make assumptions about perceptible interferences in the pronunciation of spoken French which might be at the origin of noise in the psycholinguistic decoding. Acoustic analyses of speech corpuses, based on the previous hypotheses…
[tyʁlyty’ty/ləʃapopwɛ̃’ty] (Turlututu, le chapeau pointu) ou de la perception à la production de la voyelle /y/ par des apprenants polonophones
2019
Our basic assumption is that all voices are born from listening. We will focus on the pronouncing difficulties of the vowel /y/ by Polish learners of level A1/A2: a preliminary descriptive and comparative study, corroborated by an acoustic study, determined that the phoneme /y/ is often pronounced: 1) too posterior and/or too loose (thus tending towards the /u/); 2) too anterior (tending towards the /i/). However, the vowels /i/ and /u/ exist in Polish and are the closest corresponding sounds to the vowel /y/, absent in the Polish vocal system. This acoustic study is based on three phases of data recording/analysis: I) diagnostic phase—to detect the tendency of each speaker on the axis of a…
Apprendimento del tedesco: nuovi approcci nel training della pronuncia sotto il profilo della learner identity
2019
Utilizzare la propria voce fa parte dell’espressione dell’identità personale. Colui che intraprende lo studio di una lingua straniera si trova talora difronte alla difficoltà di articolare suoni e strutture prosodiche differenti dalla sua lingua nativa e altresì lontani dal proprio vissuto: strani ed estranei. Inoltre pregiudizi ricorrenti possono inibire l’attitudine dell’apprendente nei confronti della lingua che sta imparando. Questo contributo propone nuovi approcci alla lingua tedesca orale, diversi da quelli offerti dai libri di testo in uso nelle scuole italiane. Essi partono dal suono della lingua nella sua interezza e tengono conto di ritmo, struttura sillabica e sforzo articolator…
How do native speakers of Russian evaluate yes/no questions produced by Finnish L2 learners?
2010
This study analyzes native Russian speakers’ evaluation of seven Russian yes/noquestions each produced by Finnish speakers in two sets of recordings (during a stay in Russia and after it). The Finnish speakers were six female university students of Russian. This research question is interesting because the two typologically unrelated languages differ in the prosody of yes/no-questions. In Russian a yes/no-question is created from a lexically and syntactically corresponding statement by means of intonation, whereas in Finnish the cue for questioning is an interrogative particle – ko/-kö instead of prosody. Hence, native Finnish speakers are likely to have difficulties in pronouncing Russian …
The precursors of double dissociation between reading and spelling in a transparent orthography.
2016
Research and clinical practitioners have mixed views whether reading and spelling difficulties should be combined or seen as separate. This study examined the following: (a) if double dissociation between reading and spelling can be identified in a transparent orthography (Finnish) and (b) the cognitive and noncognitive precursors of this phenomenon. Finnish-speaking children (n = 1963) were assessed on reading fluency and spelling in grades 1, 2, 3, and 4. Dissociation groups in reading and spelling were formed based on stable difficulties in grades 1–4. The groups were compared in kindergarten phonological awareness, rapid automatized naming, letter knowledge, home literacy environment, a…
Heading at Enabling Settings for Learning
2021
The paper draws on two cases of learning settings that were converted to meet up-to-date educational requirements within these learning contexts. The authors address the role of stakeholder perspectives. Focusing on the learning situation, they present an articulation tool to aid dialogue between key stakeholder perspectives in a (re)design process. Dialogue is a way to figure out relevant issues and to establish the common ground between participants. The goal of a redesign process is that user requirements are well understood, and the design is embedded into local practices, informed of constraints and aware of potential opportunities regarding educational technology.
Music and Phonetics in Magna Graecia
2014
Any investigation into the achievements accomplished by the ancient Greeks in acoustics needs to start off with the development of the Pythagorean theory of music with special reference to the relations between music and mathematics which the theory establishes. Much more than bare indications allows the author to infer that the results of Pythagorean research into this field were applied to speech sounds. Pythagorean musical research is therefore presupposed by the study among the ancient Greeks of the acoustic phenomenology of the human voice and the physiology of the organs serving the purpose of producing it.
