Long-term effects of perceptual training on the perception and production of word-initial voiceless stops by brazilian learners: implications for pronunciation teaching

In this article, we investigate the effects of perceptual training on the perception and production of word-initial VOT patterns in English by Brazilian learners. The experiment consisted of a pre-test, a post-test and two delayed post-tests. The first delayed post-test took place one month after tr...
