Training Spanish vowels Carmen Lie-Lahuerta Research Institute ACLC University of Amsterdam CAPSLaP 2014

Problem Challenging task for L2 learner acquiring new vowel sounds: requires time and individual attention from teacher. Native like production of L2 sounds only when learner becomes proficient in perceiving the target sounds  L1 vowelsystem is persistent. Articulatory properties difficult to describe and Vowel articulation is difficult to observe without special instrumentation. Critical period. CAPSLaP 2014

Infants lose the ability to discriminate nonnative contrasts CAPSLaP 2014 (Kuhl, 1991)

English vowel system 12 monophthongs CAPSLaP 2014

Spanish vowel system 5 monophthongs CAPSLaP 2014

Predictions: Multiple Category Assimilation (Morrison 2006) CAPSLaP 2014

Production CAPSLaP 2014

Solution The Fix Your Vowels program: hear and see the vowels. Shows how and where vowels are formed in the mouth. Like playing darts with your voice. CAPSLaP 2014

The architecture of Fix your vowels Map of F1 en F2 frecuencies (F1 - F2 )  pinpoints your vowel on the triangle. Formant values differ per individual  calibration procedure = vowel normalisation (Lobanov 1971) Feedback: higher/lower (F1) and forward/backness (F2) 200 Spanish words: different male and female speakers Student’s voice is recorded as wav files. CAPSLaP 2014

Program Fix your vowels CAPSLaP 2014 F2 (Hz) F1 (Hz)
