Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

One challenge Thai learners of English as a second language face is pronouncing plosive consonants due to differences in phonological systems and phonotactics. This study aims to (1) analyze the VOT values of English plosive consonants produced by young Thai speakers and (2) investigate how variations in VOT impact the intelligibility of their English speech, as assessed by Speech-to-Text (STT) technology. This research analyzed speech samples from 49 seventh-grade students with A2-level English proficiency. Each student produced 24 target words embedded in a carrier sentence, featuring all six English plosive sounds. The acoustic measurements were conducted using Praat software, while …
