Abstract
Speech perception training improves listeners’ perception, but
it could also significantly improve production. The benefits of
perception training are interesting for the English as a foreign
language (EFL) classroom, where this tool is currently not
being used. This study looks at students’ perception and
production performance on a pretest and, following perception
training sessions, on a posttest and retention test. Results show
that perception training improved students’ perception and to a
lesser extent students’ production.
