Thank you very much for taking part in this experiment.
Study description
We are investigating the phenomena that make it harder to understand speech from non-native speakers.
Task description
After answering a few questions about your linguistic background, you will listen to a serie of recordings from foreign students speaking in English.
While listening to the recordings, you will have to press a button each time you feel you are struggling to understand, even a little, for any reason.
Recordings last about 30 seconds each. Once started, you cannot pause or rewind and the audio will play until the end. You can play each audio only once.
You can pause as long as you need between each recording.
After listening to each recording, you will be asked a few questions about the speaker's performance.
The whole task takes about 35 minutes, but you can take as long as you need.
Requirements
Choose a quiet environment.
Please use a PC/Mac/tablet, do not use your phone for this experiment.
