"From Lab to Classroom: Research in Auditory-Visual Speech Perception and L2"

Aula de grados (CEP)

Prof. Dogu Erdener. Middle East Technical University, Turkey

Speech perception is not just an auditory but an auditory-visual process. That is, we process lip and face movements during speech, if they are available, as demonstrated by research in the past four decades, e.g., the McGurk Effect – an illusory experience in which conflicting auditory and visual speech information result in a physically non-existent percept. There are three goals of this presentation. First, we will attempt to present the current state of cross-language studies in auditory-visual speech perception in an applied sense; second, how studies in auditory-visual speech perception are relevant to both second language (L2) research and instruction; and third, how the knowledge from this research is / can be applied to grammatically and phonotactically distinct languages such as English and Turkish – the latter of which is in need of more research than presently available.
