Résumé

Despite the large number of studies of second language (L2) perception and production conducted in recent years, relatively few have examined the acquisition of categories by low-proficiency speakers from a longitudinal perspective. Most studies with a longitudinal component have considered learners over a short period of time. This paper addresses the gap in current research by evaluating a broad range of English vowel productions of recently-arrived Mandarin speakers during their first year in Canada.
