Resumo: In this study, we investigate the effectiveness of perceptual training, administered to Argentinean learners, in the perception and production of word-initial voiceless stops in English. 24 participants were divided into 3 groups: (i) Group 1, which participated in 3 training sessions; (ii) Group 2, which, besides performing the same training tasks, was explicitly informed about the target item; (iii) Group 3 (control). All participants took part in a pre-test, a post-test and a delayed post-test. In all these phases, they participated in a consonant identification task and took part in a reading exercise. Our results show a significant increase of both experimental groups in identification. As for production, Group 2 exhibited a significant increase in /p/ and /t/ after training. These results are indicative of the effectiveness of perceptual training tasks in helping learners focus on Voice Onset Time.

Todos os participantes participaram de um pré-teste, pós-teste e pós-teste atrasado. Em todas essas fases, eles participaram de uma tarefa de identificação consoante e participaram de um exercício de leitura. Nossos resultados mostram um aumento significativo de ambos os grupos experimentais na identificação. Quanto à produção, o Grupo 2 apresentou um aumento significativo em / p / e / t / após o treinamento. Esses resultados são indicativos da eficácia das tarefas de treinamento perceptivo em ajudar os alunos a se concentrarem no tempo de início da voz.UFSC2017-09-22info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/2175-8026.2017v70n3p1510.5007/2175-8026.2017v70n3p15Ilha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; Vol. 70 No. 3 (2017); 15-32Ilha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; v. 70 n. 3 (2017); 15-322175-80260101-4846reponame:Ilha do Desterroinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCenghttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/2175-8026.2017v70n3p15/34963Copyright (c) 2017 Ubiratã Kickhöfel Alves, Pedro Luis Luchiniinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAlves, Ubiratã KickhöfelLuchini, Pedro Luis2017-09-27T10:49:27Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/48964Revistahttp://www.periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterroPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/oaiilha@cce.ufsc.br||corseuil@cce.ufsc.br||ilhadodesterro@gmail.com2175-80260101-4846opendoar:2017-09-27T10:49:27Ilha do Desterro - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
