Han, Jeong-Im & Kim, Jooyeon. 2011. A One-Year Longitudinal Study of Korean Vowel Productions by Chinese Learners. Korean Journal of Linguistics, 36-4, 1101-1115. The present study provides a longitudinal investigation of the Korean vowel productions by Chinese learners over a 1-year period after their first exposure to Korean. The main purpose of the study is to examine the learning trajectory of adult learners' second language segmental acquisition. Productions of five Korean vowels were elicited at 2-month intervals and evaluated by naive Korean listeners. In Experiment 1, the goodness of fit of each vowel was rated on a scale from 1(poor) to 7(excellent), and in Experiment 2, general vowel intelligibility was assessed. Overall the results showed that L2 phonetic learning is not initially rapid which follows the plateau with several months as proposed by Munro and Derwing (2008), nor gradually processed as proposed in exemplar models. However, it was also shown that the exact learning trajectories vary across the five vowels, based on the L1-to-L2 matching relationship. (Konkuk University)
