| Summary: | This study tests the effect that Second Language (L2) phonological training has on learners’ listening skills. Data was analyzed within an experimental framework quantitatively. 48 participants were considered: 18 as a control group, 30 as an experimental group. Participants were taking an intermediate English class at Centro de Lenguas at The Universidad Autónoma de Ciudad Juarez. Participants in the experimental group received a 72-hour period of L2 phonological training. Training included minimal pairs, articulation and intonation exercises. Participants took a pre and post listening comprehension test to training period. Results indicate that participants in the experimental group scored higher from pre to post listening test contrasting those in the control group. This serves as a base to include this training to L2 classes and measure its results on a larger sample of learners. |
