ASR-based corrective feedback on pronunciation: does it really work?
Ambra Neri, Catia Cucchiarini, Helmer Strik · 2006
We studied a group of immigrants who were following regular, teacher-fronted Dutch classes, and who were assigned to three groups using either a) Dutch CAPT, an ASR-based Computer Assisted Pronunciation Training (CAPT) system that provides feedback on a number of Dutch speech sounds that are problematic for L2 learners b) a CAPT system without feedback c) no CAPT system. Participants were tested before and after the training. The results show that the ASR-based feedback was effective in correcting the errors addressed in the training. 1.
