Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of an audio-visual high variability phonetic training (AV-HVPT) approach in improving the pronunciation of English interdental sounds /θ, ð/ and vowel /ɪ/ among a group of Chinese graduates. A total of 70 participants were randomly assigned to two groups: one received AV-HVPT instruction (Class 1) and the other one received traditional teacher-led instruction (Class 2). The overall findings showed that Class 1 significantly improved /θ, ð/ pronunciation but Class 2 did not. No improvement in /ɪ/ pronunciation was observed in either group. This may suggest that the effectiveness of the AV-HVPT approach in the classroom might be limited in the learning of sounds with salient articulatory gestures.
期刊介绍：
Language Teaching Research is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes research within the area of second or foreign language teaching. Although articles are written in English, the journal welcomes studies dealing with the teaching of languages other than English as well. The journal is a venue for studies that demonstrate sound research methods and which report findings that have clear pedagogical implications. A wide range of topics in the area of language teaching is covered, including: -Programme -Syllabus -Materials design -Methodology -The teaching of specific skills and language for specific purposes Thorough investigation and research ensures this journal is: -International in focus, publishing work from countries worldwide -Interdisciplinary, encouraging work which seeks to break down barriers that have isolated language teaching professionals from others concerned with pedagogy -Innovative, seeking to stimulate new avenues of enquiry, including ''action'' research
