Daniel sings bass in the Victoria Philharmonic Choir, has been in his school musical five years straight, and plays piano badly. Next year plans to study linguistics and physics at university, with his ultimate goal being omniscience. |
| Daniel Bild-Enkin Voila les Voyelles: French Vowel Pronunciation in a Victoria High School
Division: | Internationale / Aucun | Catégorie: | Sénior | Région: | Vancouver Island | Ville: | Victoria, BC | École: | Esquimalt Community School | Sommaire: | Part of learning a new language is learning the pronunciation. Pronunciation is simply the physical system of sound source and vocal tract resonances. Articulatory features of vowels can be determined from acoustic ones. Software was developed to determine formants (resonances) of vowels spoken by students of various levels of French instruction. Significant correlations were found between French instruction and acoustic indicators of French proficiency. |
