In order to help Japanese C2L learners to learn Mandarin Chinese tones efficiently, we have devised a hybrid perceptual training paradigm consisting of adaptive and high-variability training periods. Through the training the 13 participants were able to show improvements in their tone distinguishing accuracy of the Tone 2 and 3 from the pre-test 84.2% to the post-test 94.2% in 6 days. After six months...
In the process of Chinese learning, Tone 2 and Tone 3 are the most problematic pair for Japanese learners. We propose to develop a perceptual training paradigm to help them to gain efficiently the perceptual ability to distinguish the tones. A series of three studies were carried out: the first checked how difficult the Japanese learners produce the tones. The second investigated how differently Japanese...
