Chung, Yun Hee. “Categorial Discrimination in the Perception and Production of English Vowels by Korean EFL Learners: A Case Study.” Studies in English Language & Literature. 42.2 (2016): 263-282. The present study compares the perception and production of 9 English vowels produced by 20 Korean EFL learners. Two experiments were conducted with the same Korean participants: (i) a production test measuring the Euclidean distances between the first two formants of each English vowel and comparing them with those of native speakers’, and (ii) a perception test using an oddity discrimination test to measure the discrimination rate of vowel contrasts. The results of the experiments suggested that Korean learners had great difficulties in discriminating between the members of the adjacent vowel pairs in their production. On the contrary, it was found that the participants' good discrimination in perception does not necessarily mean high differentiation values in the production. These findings imply that the current L2 models (PAM/SLM) cannot account for Korean learners' production and perception. (Chonnam National University)
