Oral input enhancement
This study investigates the effects of oral input enhancement through the adaptation of audiobooks for extensive listening, delivered to students on their mobile phones. Oral input enhancement consistend of digitally increasing the volume of target items in the input or by adding short pauses before and after the target items. The results of this exciting study, conducted in Korea with Min Young Cho, a PhD student at the University of Hawai’i, will soon be published here:
