This was a pilot study that used the Tomatis® Method to see the effects it had on L2 reading fluency in a group of Taiwanese learners. Eight volunteers participated in this study undertaking 40-hours of before-and-after-experimental treatments. The results from the analysis showed that the participants had significant improvements in the areas of fluency, tone, stress, and intelligibility.
However, there was not a significant improvement in pronunciation. This study concludes that the Tomatis® Method seemed to help participants improve their reading fluency as well as increase the levels of confidence and motivation when learning the target language.
