Workshop theme
![]() Speech technology offers great promise in many aspects of language learning by humans. It has already been used in applications such as pronunciation training for hard-of-hearing persons and is now appearing in second language learning. As more advanced speech technology emerges, its usefulness will increase. The technology includes speech recognition, synthesis, analysis, manipulation and visualisation. In relation to the technology, new methods in language learning need to be discussed and developed. ![]() |
