摘要This study examined the efficacy of ultrasound technology for teaching L2 English “dark /l/”, [?], to L1 Cantonese students. In a pre-test reading, eight Hong Kong students, aged 15-16 (mean age: 15 years, 9 months), were
scanned with ultrasound while reading short token sentences containing wordfinal [?] tokens in three vowel contexts: /i?/, /?/, and /u?/. Students were then divided into two groups of four, and given a short lesson on the articulation of
[?]. The two lessons were identical in every respect except for one: Group 1 received visual feedback from the ultrasound scanner, but Group 2 did not. Finally, in a post-test immediately after the lesson, the students were scanned
reading the token sentences a second time. Results from the pre-test indicated that all students except for one in group 2 articulated [?] with a back tongue gesture, but no subsequent front gesture. The resulting sound was vocalized,
and more akin to a back vowel than [?]. In the post-test, 3 out of 4 students from Group 1 added a front tongue gesture to [?]; however, in Group 2 there were no major differences between the pre-test and post-test results. The changes in Group 1 occurred across vowel contexts, with somewhat different effects from vowel to vowel.
