The post-training recordings were carried out in the exact same conditions as the pretraining
recordings. For the second recording sessions, the subjects were supposed to take
into account all that was done during their respective trainings, although this was not made
clear or explicitly compulsory to them. That method reinforced the similarity with a typical
English class, where the teacher cannot force his/her students to apply the lesson, even
though they attended it. Once again, the software Audacity made it possible to divide the
recordings into separate sound files for each recorded item. In the end, there were four
hundred items, i.e. twenty English words and phrases recorded twice – before and after the
trainings – by ten French speakers.
