Does a Speaking Task Affect Second Language Comprehensibility (2015, background): “A CASE FOR COMPREHENSIBILITY The two competing views of L2 pronunciation, termed the nativeness and the intelligibility principles (Levis, 2005), have been the focus of substantial research (see Munro & Derwing, 2011).”
Effects of Instruction on L2 Pronunciation Development: A Synthesis of 15 Quasi- Experimental Intervention Studies (2012, background): “Major journals in L2 education research (e.g., Language Learning, Language Awareness, TESOL Quarterly) as well as review chapters and articles on pronunciation teaching (e.g., Celce-Murcia et al., 2010; Munro & Derwing, 2011) were taken into account to check potential sources.”
DECONSTRUCTING COMPREHENSIBILITY (2012, background): “This is because in most situations of L2 use, what really counts is L2 speakers’ ability to be understood, rather than the quality or nativelikeness of their accent (Derwing & Munro, 1997 ; Jenkins, 2000 ; Munro & Derwing, 2011 ).”
Effects of Second Language Pronunciation Teaching Revisited: A Proposed Measurement Framework and Meta‐Analysis (2019, background): “…actual product of understanding), wherein listeners are typically asked to transcribe what they have heard from each speech sample (for a list of other types of intelligibility measures [e.g., responses to true/false statements, comprehension questions, scalar ratings], see Munro & Derwing, 2011).”
