| Title: | Speak Everywhere: An Online Service for Linguists |
|---|---|
| Submitter: | Atsushi Fukada |
| Description: | 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 (afukada@purdue.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. |
