Intelligibility enhancement assessment and intervention for multilingual university students

Helen Blake; Sharynne McLeod; Sarah Verdon

Abstract

A single-case experimental design was used with two multilingual university students to demonstrate the effectiveness of Intelligibility Enhancement intervention on (1) production of consonants, consonant clusters, and syllables (2) acceptability of speech rate, volume, and word stress (3) perceptions of intelligibility, confidence, and ease communicating in English. Following intervention, both participants displayed increased performance in speech and intelligibility.
Learner Outcome(s): Describe factors to be included in a holistic assessment protocol for enhancing multilingual speakers’ intelligibility in English
Discuss factors to be included in a structured intervention protocol aimed at enhancing multilingual speakers’ intelligibility in English
Identify implications for SLPs and others working with multilingual speakers to support their English communication
Keywords: Intelligibility Enhancement, Accent modification, Single-case experimental design (SCED), Vietnamese, Mandarin
