The Initiative

Our goal is to foster big-team, collaborative speech science into key topics that represent our shared applied interests and have the potential to bridge the research-practice (or research-policy) divide.

Projects

 

Optimizing Perception Learning (OPL)

A multi-site, large-scale data collection and analysis project harnessing the potential of high variability for efficient teaching and learning of second language pronunciation. The project's goals are:


  • Make sites comparable by fixing perception training features
  • Make perception training generalizable by allowing sampling characteristics and target structures to vary
  • Create room for individualization outside of the “core” by allowing researchers to add components a la carte at individual sites
