Abstract
The purpose of this study is to determine the extent to which L2 Spanish learners at different levels of proficiency are aware of the spirantization rule of Spanish voiced stops. The results of this study help determine whether general exposure to the language is enough to acquire the target rule or more form-focused phonological training is needed to bring their attention to the rule and consequently learn it.
