調査報告

We report on an exploratory sample of a wider research project to assess second language phonological competence in young children of differing linguistic background learning English as a foreign language. Our investigation begins with some Japanese 4-year-olds who have studied English for one year. Early results suggest an unexpectedly high level of their perceptual proficiency with regard to non-native English contrasts, leading to a possible re-appraisal of the enduring impact of a native phonological system on Very Young Learners.
