Introduction
-&artikulate; is a pronunciation trainer that helps improving and perfecting a
learner's pronunciation skills for a foreign language.
-For this, it provides courses with native speaker recordings of the target
language for download.
-The learner download courses for selected language, selects a group of
phrases, starts to record her/his own voice when speaking the phrases
himself/herself, and compares the results to the native speaker's recordings by
listening to both.
+&artikulate; is a pronunciation trainer for improving and perfecting
pronunciation skills for a non-native language.
+For this, &artikulate; provides courses created by native speakers, who
recorded their own voices as comparison material.
+A student can download these recordings in form of courses from the Internet.
+The training then consists of iterative playing of a native speaker's
recording of some phrase, recording the own voice, and comparing both until the
result is good enough to proceed with the next phrase.
The Learning Concept
-The study concept of this language learning application is as follows.
-By repeating and comparing own recordings of spoken phrases to the recordings
of (a representative set of) native speakers, a learner can
-
-identify weaknesses when speaking the foreign language
and
-adapt the pronunciation to coincide with the native
speaker's pronunciation.
-
-For best learning outcome, specifically designed courses for every supported
language are necessary.
-Those courses can concentrate on training special scenarios (like ordering
food in a restaurant) but can also focus on learning how to pronounce difficult
syllables and words of a particular language correctly.
+The study concept of &artikulate; is based on honest self-assessment of the
student.
+A student trains several phrases in one training session.
+For each such phase, first he/she plays the native speaker recording for the
phrase and listens to it.
+Then, by recording his/her own voice when attempting to repeat this phrase, we
get a second recording.
+The studen then can compare both recordings and either decides that the phrase
is mastered or that another attempt is needed.
+The provided courses provide trainings for special scenarios (like ordering
food in a restaurant) but can also focus on learning how to pronounce difficult
syllables and words of a particular language correctly.
