摘　　要：Corrective feedback is crucial for pronunciation teaching.However,in current pronunciation teaching practice,the corrective feedback provided usually fails to locate pronunciation problems and inform learners of the differences between their mispronunciations and the correct form.Based on the motor theory,this study attempted to explore a new way of corrective feedback for pronunciation teaching.Specifically,the learners’ speech output was modified and then was played back to them as an input model for learning.In this way,the learners can imitate the pronunciation model of their own voices,achieving self-imitation.This study included two experiments.The first explored the viability of obtaining one’s self-perceived voice through delayed feedback paradigm.The second experiment examined the effectiveness of self-imitation for English intonation learning.Results showed that imitating the pronunciation model of one’s own voice can reduce the learners’ phonological memory load,assist critical listening and facilitate accurate phonetic realizations of the target intonation.纠正式反馈在语音教学过程中起着重要的作用,然而在日常语音教学中,学生们所接收到的纠正式反馈通常不能精确地指出学生的发音错误,以及明确地告知学生他们的发音与目标音之间的差异。本研究旨在探索一种新模式的基于纠正式反馈的语音学习方法:即把学生的发音进行修改再回放给学生,学生通过模仿自己(经过修改的)的发音进行语音学习。本研究包含两个实验:第一个实验探索了通过"延迟回放模式"获取自我感知声音的可行性;第二个实验初步验证了通过自我模仿进行英语语调学习的有效性。结果显示,利用学习者自己的声音进行语音学习能够减轻学习者的语音记忆载荷,帮助学习者获取关键声学线索,以及促进学习者对目标语音更准确的声学实现。
