“…A recent paper by Stoehr et al (2017) highlights the role of language environment in which bilinguals function on a daily basis in shaping their ultimate linguistic competence. Arguing that the task of research into L2 phonology and phonetics is to establish how well "bilinguals have been able to adapt to the phonetic environment in which they actually acquire the L2" (p. 485), Stoehr et al criticize using the monolingual native speaker's performance as the reference point against which L2 speech acquisition is measured.…”

“…Another argument against monolingual linguistic competence as the reference point in evaluating outcomes of L2 learning is based on the findings of psycholinguistic research (Hopp & Schmid 2013, Stoehr et al 2017. Researchers in bilingualism widely cite Grosjean's paper (1989) articulating the view that the linguistic competence of a bilingual does not comprise two separate language systems.…”

Ultimate attainment in foreign-language sound learning is addressed via vowel production accuracy in English spoken by advanced Czech EFL learners. English FLEECE-KIT, DRESS-TRAP, and GOOSE-FOOT contrasts are examined in terms of length, height, and backness. Our data show that, while being constrained by phonemic category assimilation (new vowel height distinctions are not created), the learners' interlanguage combines phonological parsimony (reusing L1 length feature to contrast L2 vowels) with phonetic flexibility (within-category shifts reflecting L1-L2 phonetic dissimilarity). Although achieving nativelike phonological competence may not be possible learners who acquire L2 in the prevailingly L1 environment, the Czech learners' implementations of English vowels revealed their ability to adjust for phonetic detail of L2 sounds. Keywords:English as a foreign language, L2 phonology, ultimate attainment, vowels 1 AOL stands for the Age of Learning, i.e. age at the onset of acquisition. The most frequently cited AOL studies include e.g.

Since the ancient times, there have been the cultural tradition of valuing knowledge more than its practical usage. With the development of social economy and the requirement of modernization construction, the talent quality required by enterprises is becoming higher and higher, which makes the structural contradiction of higher education become more and more prominent. The training mechanism which is adopted by colleges and universities for training applied, compound and innovative talents cannot meet the needs of industrial updating, and the employment problems of graduates are salient. This paper uses questionnaire survey method and literature review method, conducting research to 500 college students and 200 college teachers on four dimensions include whether the teachers are suitable for the requirements of the majors, the proportion between the theoretical learning and the practical training, the evaluation indicators of school assignments and the education mode of the cooperation between school and enterprise. The study found that the practical education colleges and universities has begun to diversify and marketize, but there are still gaps between teacher resources of practical education in colleges and universities and newly professional docking; practical education has overcorrection problem with valuing practical usage more than knowledge learning; the evaluation system of higher practical education needs to be perfected. Based on this situation, we can explore the development path of higher education, first is to open to market and create diversified resource platform; second is to strengthen the construction of teacher group and forge teaching practice team; Third is to establish a reasonable curriculum system and pay attention to effectiveness; Fourth is to reform the evaluation form; Fifth is to build up diversified and open class mode.

The overall characteristics of China's higher education development in the new century is that it has entered the stage of massification development, and the reform and development of higher education presents new features. This paper intends to summarize the massification of higher education and discusses development stage and development characteristics of China's higher education massification, and combines with the development of higher education in recent years to analyze the progress of China has made in massification of higher education, and puts forward that China's higher education massification development is changing from pursued and passive mode to the active mode. Systematic research on practical teaching of undergraduate engineering education helps to provide theoretical and practical basis for policy makers of educational authorities, and change the view of practice teaching. In this paper, through literature research, survey research and case analysis, the problems existing in the teaching practice are summarized and the reasons behind the problem are analyzed. The concept of practice teaching is organized to build the standard for cultivating talents of undergraduate engineering education, on this basis, the curriculum content is updated, curriculum system is reconstructed and teaching methods are reformed. The perfection of university practice teaching mechanism promotes the development of university teaching reform and development.
