Pronunciation Instruction using CG Animation based on Articulatory Features
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a pronunciation instruction system that dynamically generates CG animations to express the pronunciation from speech based on articulatory features. Specifically, the system displays the results of phoneme recognition and animation of the pronunciation movements of both the learner and teacher from their speech in order to show in what way the learner’s pronunciation is wrong. Learners can thus understand their wrong pronunciation and the correct pronunciation method through specific pronunciation animations. Experiments confirmed the effectiveness of the animations.

Generating Animated Pronunciation from Speech Through Articulatory Feature Extraction
We automatically generate CG animations to express the pronunciation movement of speech through articulatory feature (AF) extraction to help learn a pronunciation. The proposed system uses MRI data to map AFs to coordinate values that are needed to generate the animations. By using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data, we can observe the movements of the tongue, palate, and pharynx in detail w...
متن کاملEffects of Pronunciation Practice System Based on Personalized CG Animations of Mouth Movement Model
Pronunciation practice system based on personalized Computer Graphics: CG animation of mouth movement model is proposed. The system enables a learner to practice pronunciation by looking at personalized CG animations of mouth movement model , and allows him/her to compare them with his/her own mouth movements. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the system by using personalized CG animati...

The current pretest-posttest quasi-experimental study attempts, firstly, to probe the effects of teaching formulaic sequences (FSs) on the second or foreign language (L2) learners' oral proficiency improvement and secondly, to examine whether teaching FSs through different resources (i.e. animation vs. text-based readings) have any differentially influential effects in augmenting L2 l...
متن کاملSpeaker verification via articulatory feature-based conditional pronunciation modeling with vowel and consonant mixture models
Articulatory feature-based conditional pronunciation modeling (AFCPM) aims to capture the pronunciation characteristics of speakers by modeling the linkage between the states of articulation during speech production and the actual phones produced by a speaker. Previous AFCPM systems use one discrete density function for each phoneme to model the pronunciation characteristics of speakers. This p...
متن کاملComputer Assisted Pronunciation Teaching (CAPT) and Pedagogy: Improving EFL learners’ Pronunciation Using Clear Pronunciation 2 Software
This study examined the impact of Clear Pronunciation 2 software on teaching English suprasegmental features, focusing on stress, rhythm and intonation. In particular, the software covers five topics in relation to suprasegmental features including consonant cluster, word stress, connected speech, sentence stress and intonation. Seven Iranian EFL learners participated in this study. The study l...
