This study investigates how children perceive and produce English vowel sounds. The purpose is to understand the differences in how English-speaking monolingual children and Mandarin-English bilingual children hear and say these vowel sounds. Vowels are the sounds in words like 'cat' or 'dog' that are not consonants.
Participants will be involved in activities where they listen to and repeat words. This helps researchers see how well the children understand and pronounce different vowel sounds in English. The study involves listening tests and speaking exercises to gather data on vowel perception and production.
- Who can participate: The study is looking for English-speaking monolingual children and Mandarin-English bilingual children. Participants should be between the ages of 5 and 10, suitable for understanding and repeating words clearly.
- Study details: The study will involve listening and speaking tasks to assess how children perceive and pronounce vowel sounds.
