Abstract
Abstract The present study reports on stop consonant perception of voice onset time (VOT) in Anglophone children enrolled in a French immersion (FI) elementary school in Western Canada. Fifty-seven children in grades 1, 3, and 5 were tested in both English and French for the three pairs of stops (/p/-/b/, /t/-/d/, and /k/-/g/). They were asked to identify words that begin with these stop consonants when listening to the audio prompts. We found that FI students’ French perception exhibits language-appropriate VOT boundaries for all three pairs but they have difficulty with identifying French voiced stops. Children’s French perception remains constant across grades. Our findings highlight the role played by educational context and the social status of L2 in second language learning.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
