Lip Service: The Contribution of the Visual Modality to Speech Perception and its Relevance to the Teaching and Testing of Foreign Language Listening Comprehension1

SUSAN KELLERMAN

University of York

Recent research into speech perception has drawn attention to the role played by vision in the listening process. Specifically, research into the use made of articulatory movements by the deaf points up the significance of this visual input, and research into the speech perception of the blind reveals the significance of its loss. Other investigations have shown that vision is an integral part of the normal listening process, even when the message is intact. The implications of these findings for the teaching and testing of foreign language listening skills are considered.
