    音声学教育

    「音声学は数学とか色々絡んでくるから難しい!」っていう文句を真摯に受け止め、いかに学生に音声学を教えると効果的か探求しています:

    I generally enjoy working with a student, both at undergraduate and graduate level. Sometimes they help a project of mine; sometimes I help them develop their project. Students that I published a paper with or I presented a conference talk with include (perhaps non-exhaustive):

    Alex Kilpatrick (University of Melborne, grad), Stacey Sherwood (U. of Sydney, grad), Saeka Miyahara (Keio, undergrad), Rei Masuda (Keio, undergrad), Chika Takahashi (Keio, undergraduate), Nozomi Endo (Keio, undergraduate), Jeff Moore (Sophia, graduate), James Whang (NYU, graduate), Kelly Garvey (Rutgers, undergraduate), Aaron Braver (Rutgers, graduate), Sang-Im Lee-Kim (NYU, graduate), Hanako Masada (Sophia, graduate), Sophia Kao (Rutgers, undergraduate), Melanie Pangilinan (Rutgers, undergraduate), Lara Greenberg (Rutgers, undergraduate), Natalie Dresher (Rutgers, undergraduate), Sara Korostoff (Rutgers, undergraduate), Chris Kish (Rutgers, undergraduate), Yumi Uchimoto (Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, undergraduate), Nobuhiro Yoshida (Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, undergraduate), Gakuji Kumagai (Tokyo Metropolitan University, PD), Atsushi Noto (Tokyo Metropolitan University, graduate), Mayuki Matsui (NINJAL, PD), Hanna Kaji (ICU), Haruka Tada (ICU).

    Undergraduate teaching

  • A summary page listing resources for graduation school applications (speech pathology schools).

  • Here is a guide for applying for graduate schools

  • Here is a guide for Preparing for speech pathology schools (while you're at Rutgers.)

  • If you're a Rutgers student and interested in pursuing a speech pathology-related career, we now have a facebook group.

    Undergraduate advising



    At the Rutgers phonetics lab, of which I was the director for a while, many undergraduate students worked on projects with our lab members. Here are some results of their efforts.

  • Aresty poster (2013) by Natalie Dresher et al. on The phonetics of emphatic vowel lengthening in English.
  • National Conference on Undergraduate Research (2013) by Michelle Marron on The effect of sound symbolism on gender cues for new brand names.
  • Cornell Undergrad Conf. (2012) by Chris Kish et al on why obstruents would imply masculinity.
  • Aresty poster (2012) by Chris Kish et al on the sound symbolism in English names.
  • WCCFL poster (2011) by Kelly Garvey on perceptibility of place contrasts.
  • PCL slides (2011) by Kelly Garvey on perceptibility of place contrasts.
  • Aresty poster (2011) by Audrey Krum et al on the perception of duration.
  • FAJL slides (2010) by Sophia Kao 2010 on Japanese accents.
  • Aresty poster (2010) by Natalie Blanc et al. on French intonation.
  • Aresty poster (2010) by Kelly Garvey on similarity effects.
  • Aresty poster (2010) by Lara Greenberg on child speech.
