Computer-Aided Pronunciation Training (CAPT) and Prosody


Special Session, Speech Prosody 2010

In recent years computer-based methods for teaching foreign languages have become available to the general public. In this session we want to focus on the problems of teaching foreign language prosody by means of a computer. We invite contributions dealing with complete teaching systems and their evaluation, but also with related topics such as, for instance, prosodic analysis of foreign accented speech, as well as tonal normalization, visualization and correction of tonal contours and rhythmic patterns for teaching purposes.


Prospective participants are invited to submit their contributions by 15 December 2009. Authors should select the name of the desired special session when they submit their manuscript to the manuscript submission page of Speech Prosody 2010.
