This project aims to improve adult language learning. Most adults struggle to pronounce foreign speech, because their native processing skills cannot process foreign sounds. During infancy, native sound perception is tuned through listening to variants of speech sounds while interacting with care-givers. This project aims to show that adults can reprogram their processing skills if placed in the rich environment available to infants. Rigorous testing will show whether auditory training improves processing of foreign speech sounds in adults and children and leads to successful understanding and pronunciation of foreign words. This project could benefit many Australian monolingual families who have not fully engaged with neighbouring cultures due to a language barrier.

该项目旨在提高成人语言学习能力。大多数成年人都很难发出外国语言，因为他们的母语处理技能无法处理外国声音。在婴儿期，通过与看护者互动时倾听语音的变体来调整原生声音感知。该项目旨在表明，如果将成年人置于婴儿可获得的丰富环境中，他们可以重新编程他们的处理技能。严格的测试将显示听觉训练是否能改善成人和儿童对外语语音的处理，并导致对外语单词的成功理解和发音。这个项目可以使许多由于语言障碍而没有充分融入邻近文化的澳大利亚单语家庭受益。
