A Computer Animated Tutor for Language Learning: Research and Applications
Dominic W. Massaro · Oxford University Press eBooks · 2005
This chapter emphasizes the multimodal nature of perception of spoken languages, as visual information from the speaker's face and lips provides visual help for both hearing and deaf listeners in disambiguating auditory messages. It presents results on the vocabulary development of hard-of-hearing children from use of a computer-based program which provides multimodal information along with assistance to teachers and therapists in designing activities for interactive training.
