授業の目標・概要

By the end of this class, students should have demonstrated their ability to critically evaluate and discuss theoretical and experimental material related to speech processing.
Throughout this course we will discuss theoretical and experimental studies focusing on speech processing in a first and second language. Various languages are expected to be discussed, with possibly a higher emphasis on English and Japanese. Students are strongly encouraged to choose some of the topics discussed in this seminar, and are required to present a brief summary of two studies related to speech processing. Students are welcome to present the results of a study they have previously conducted as part of one of the two presentations. Each presentation should be about 10 to 20 min, presented with PowerPoint (or an equivalent), and followed by interesting discussion questions and relevant comments.
