Recently the studies concentrating on computer assistant language learning (CALL) has been growing in numbers as they offer many advantagesthat couldn't otherwise be provided by a traditional classroom setting. In addtion to popular computer-assisted pronunciation teaching (CAPT) systems, computer-assisted prosody training system is another branch of CALL (Computer assistant language learning) system. The focus of pronunciation teaching system differs from the prosody training system as the former concentrates on segmental errors while the later on suprasegmental errors. In recent years studies focusing on suprasegmentals have shown that in addition to segmental information, prosodic information is indispensable for language learning. Moreover, reported studies that adopted prosodic training for second-language (L2) learners have demonstrated that computer-assisted prosody training systems could further improve the overall comprehensibility of L2 speech. In order to better understand L2 English by native Taiwan Mandarin speakers (TW) and to apply the knowleage onto computer-assisted prosody training system, the present study examines prosodic characteristics of Taiwan L2 English in relation to native (L1) English, as TW speakers'mother tongue, Mandarin. |
