Abstract

Speaking coherently in a second language requires knowledge and execution of pronunciation.Often, pronunciation training is seldom emphasized in language learning.However, explicitly teaching pronunciation can increase confidence and attitudes towards pronunciation in learners.We present a visual feedback system for vowels using a speaker calibrated vowel chart.The demo includes vowel chart calibration, an interactive tutorial for learning how to read a vowel chart, and a practice page for three vowel minimal pairs.
