本研究探討一種以發音起始時間(Voice Onset Time, VOT)為基礎,結合視覺與觸覺回饋,並運用傳承語言(即台灣閩南語)作為語音錨定之教學法,對提升台灣學習者法語塞音清濁對立之成效。對以華語為母語的學習者而言,法語濁塞音具挑戰性,原因在於其母語主要透過送氣而非清濁對立來區分塞音。本研究旨在探討,結合視覺與觸覺回饋以及傳承語言提示,是否能有效促進第二語言清濁對立的習得。
本研究奠基於感知-動作、語音運動控制及第二語言語音習得理論,強調透過 Praat 語音軟體進行波形視覺化觀察、喉部震動的觸覺感知,以及以台灣閩南語作為發音參照,來整合多重感官回饋。
在理論層面上,本研究亦採取整合性的喉音音韻觀點,結合喉頭素性理論(laryngeal realism)以及感知-動作語音模型,主張第二語言清濁對立的習得並非僅源於知覺分類或音系重組,而是來自抽象制約系統、發音實現以及多模態回饋重新校準之間的交互作用。
本研究對象為十名來自國立成功大學的大學生(五名男性、五名女性,年齡介於20至25歲),其法語程度為A1+至B1,且接受過約200至400小時的法語學習。研究採四次個別訓練設計,並於訓練前及一週後分別進行前測與延遲後測。第一節課包含前測,並介紹法語濁塞音的發音機制、VOT 概念、塞音類型(清音、濁音、送氣音)、Praat 波形視覺化,以及三組法語塞音對。接著,受試者透過觸覺監測與傳承語言提示(台語中的濁音 /b/)練習第一組 /p, b/。第二與第三節課分別針對 /t, d/ 與 /k, g/ 進行練習,同樣結合視覺-觸覺回饋與傳承語言提示(/d/、/g/)。第四節課則回顧前測錯誤,訓練受試者使用 Praat 自我診斷發音,並為期一週的自主練習做準備。一週後進行後測,包含聲學分析與自我評估問卷。
研究結果顯示,受試者在濁塞音的 VOT 準確度上有顯著提升,尤其在句子層級的表現改善尤為明顯。訓練前,學習者雖能在單字層級表現較佳,但在連續語流中常出現清濁對立的錯誤。經過視覺-觸覺訓練及一週使用 Praat 的自主練習後,受試者在句子中產出目標濁音的能力顯著提升,同時無聲塞音的過度送氣現象減少,且重複產出的一致性提高。此外,受試者亦回報其語音覺察能力提升、自我監控能力增強,並認為觸覺與傳承語言輔助具有實用價值。
本研究結果為一種非單純依賴語音輸入的多模態教學模式提供實證支持,顯示結合發音回饋與傳承語言提示,有助於改善以送氣為主要對立機制之學習者在法語清濁對立上的困難。更廣泛而言,本研究有助於發展第二語言語音習得的整合模型,強調音韻結構、喉音實現與感知-動作回饋系統三者在穩定語音類別形成中的共同作用。
This study investigates the effectiveness of a VOT-based, visual-tactile pedagogy with heritage-language phonological anchoring, i.e. Taiwanese Southern Min, for improving French stop consonant voicing among Taiwanese learners. French voiced stops are challenging for Mandarin-speaking learners because their native language realizes stop consonant contrasts through aspiration rather than voicing. This study aims to explore whether combining visual and tactile feedback with heritage-language cues can facilitate accurate L2 voicing acquisition. Grounded in sensorimotor, motor, and L2 speech acquisition theories, this approach emphasizes the integration of visual waveform inspection using Praat, tactile awareness of laryngeal vibration, and the use of Taiwanese Southern Min as a heritage-language articulatory reference.
Beyond its pedagogical design, this study is theoretically informed by an integrated perspective on laryngeal phonology, combining insights of laryngeal realism, and sensorimotor speech models. It proposes that L2 voicing acquisition is not solely a matter of perceptual categorization or phonological restructuring, but emerges from the interaction between abstract constraint systems, articulatory implementation, and multimodal feedback-driven sensorimotor control.
Ten university students (five males, five females; aged 20~25) from National Cheng Kung University, with A1+ to B1 French proficiency and approximately 200~400 hours of prior instruction, participated in a four-session individual training program. A pre-test and a delayed post-test were conducted, each spaced one week apart. Session 1 included a pre-test then introduced the mechanism of pronouncing French voiced stops, VOT concepts in French language, stop consonant types (voiceless, voiced, aspirated), Praat waveform visualization, and an overview of three pairs of French stop consonants. Participants then practiced the first pair (/p, b/) using tactile monitoring and heritage-language cues (the voiced consonant /b/ in Taiwanese). Sessions 2 and 3 provided targeted practice for the second (/t, d/) and third (/k, g/) pairs, respectively, using visual-tactile feedback and also heritage-language cues, i.e. /d/ and /g/. Session 4 reviewed pre-test errors, trained learners to diagnose their own pronunciation with Praat, and prepared them for one week of self-directed home practice. One week after, implementation of the post-test assessments included acoustic measurements and self-evaluation questionnaires.
Results indicate substantial improvement in VOT accuracy for voiced stops, with a particularly notable effect in sentence-level production, which had been more challenging than single-word targets. Before training, learners often produced incorrect voicing in sentences despite relatively better performance on isolated words. Following the visual-tactile training and one week of self-directed practice with Praat, participants showed marked improvement in producing target voiced stops within sentences, as well as reduced over-aspiration in voiceless stops and greater consistency across repeated tokens. Participants also reported heightened phonetic awareness, improved self-monitoring skills, and perceived usefulness of tactile and heritage-language support.
These findings provide empirical support for a non-input-based, multimodal pedagogical framework, demonstrating that combining articulatory feedback with heritage-language cues can effectively address French voicing contrasts in learners whose dominant language realizes consonantal contrast primarily via aspiration rather than voicing. More broadly, the study contributes to an emerging interface model of L2 phonetic acquisition, in which phonological structure, laryngeal implementation, and sensorimotor feedback systems are jointly responsible for the emergence of stable L2 speech categories.
