I am hoping someone may be able to help me locate an article I
vaguely remember reading. Approximately a year ago, I read an
article in either the CALICO or IALLT journals about the role that
speech speed plays in aural comprehension skill development. If I
remember correctly, the article discussed the idea that
comprehension is affected to a greater degree by the frequency of
pauses than by the speed of speech and (now this next part is very
vague so I apologize if I have the issue completely wrong) that
slowing the speech pattern may, in fact, hinder aural comprehension
skill development.
I am wondering if anyone else can recall this article and if they
would be able to tell me which journal (and volume) it was
published in. I have lent so many of my journals out to colleagues
that I don't seem to have the article currently in my collection,
and I need to locate it.
Thank you very much in advance for your assistance. It is always
greatly appreciated.
