Abstract | This paper examines the impact of self-directed pronunciation practice using "Google Translate" (GT) on the acquisition of French liaison (the production of latent consonants when they appear in consonant-vowel contexts across words: /z/ in le/za/mis 'the friends'). Second-language (L2) French learners completed homework activities on GT to practice pronunciation, utilizing the tool's Text-To-Speech (TTS) and Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) capabilities. Using a pretest/posttest design, the acquisition of liaison was assessed in terms of phonological awareness, perception, and production. The results indicated that while the L2 French learners significantly improved in their ability to "produce" liaison, their awareness and perception were not affected due to ceiling effects. Overall, learners reported positive views of their GT-based, self-directed learning experience.
