Directory         1.     Atsushi Fukada , Speak Everywhere: An Online Service for Linguists Message 1: Speak Everywhere: An Online Service for Linguists Date: 31-Oct-2011 From: Atsushi Fukada <afukadapurdue.edu> Subject: Speak Everywhere: An Online Service for Linguists E-mail this message to a friend The Center for Technology-Enhanced Language Learning at Purdue University is pleased to announce the availability of Speak Everywhere, an online speaking practice/assessment platform. http://speak-everywhere.com This service may be of interest to the following groups of people. - Language Instructors can use the service in their courses to dramatically increase speaking practice opportunities for their students. It can be used to deliver oral tests as well. - Language Laboratory Directors can use the system to provide an oral practice/assessment platform for language instructors. - Second Language Acquisition Researchers working on oral language development can use the service to collect oral data: e.g. an interlanguage pragmatics researcher can use a video clip as a cue to elicit an oral response. - Corpus Linguists can use the service to collect large amounts of oral productions to compile spoken language corpora. - Language Textbook Authors/Publishers can use the service to create a 'speaking program' (as opposed to an audio program) to accompany their textbooks. Pronunciation and phonetics textbooks should benefit greatly from it. For inquiries, email Dr. Atsushi Fukada (afukadapurdue.edu) or use the Inquiry/Support link of the above-mentioned website. I will be giving a one-hour presentation on the system on Sunday, November 20 at this year's ACTFL conference in Denver.
