A recent talk for language teaching professionals:

Kotzor, S., & Fritz, I. (2021) ‘Crocodile or Kroko’dil: effects of stress differences on second-language processing. PronSIG Online Conference, 2 October 2021.

 

This talk presented the results of psycholinguistic experiments to determine whether differences in stress patterns of words which exist in both first and second languages cause processing difficulties for German and Dutch learners of English. It also discussed the experimental data to assess the contribution that these results might make to classroom practice and material design.
