By means of the McGurk effect experiment, this study took native Chinese speakers, Arabic and Thai Chinese learners as research objects to explore the audiovisual perception performance of second language learners with different native language backgrounds. The results show that there are significant differences in the audiovisual perception tendencies of those with different native language backgrounds; the native phonetic categories of learners and the phonetic similarity between the native language and the second language will affect their responses to audiovisual stimuli and further influence the reported results of audiovisual perception. The audiovisual perception tendencies of second language learners are related to the clarity and reliability of auditory stimuli. This study will provide a new perspective for understanding the audiovisual perception effects under different native language backgrounds and the research on the relationship between second language acquisition production and perception.
