Assessment in Second Language Pronunciation

In all pronunciation endeavors, the importance of listeners cannot be underestimated, and background characteristics that listeners bring to assessment tasks have been found to influence their evaluations of accentedness, comprehensibility, and intelligibility. In this volume, two research chapters examine listeners’ speech judgments and the background factors that affect their evaluations’ speech. Because idiosyncratic listener judgments pose a threat to both the reliability and validity of operational tests, listeners become raters when they are trained to rate to a scale. Yan and Ginther discuss the differences between listeners and raters, and the effects of rater training in speaking and pronunciation assessment are highlighted.
