SUBTHEME: Interactivity, learner interaction, feedback TITLE: English Pronunciation Learning System for Japanese Students Based on Diagnosis of Critical Pronunciation Errors

چکیده
As a preliminary experiment, seven Japanese students' speech was scored from 1 to 5 by linguistic experts. We also counted their error rates for each skill. We found that each intelligibility level is characterized by its distribution of error rates. Thus, we modeled each intelligibility level in accordance with its error rate. Error priority was calculated by comparing students’ error rate distributions with that of the corresponding model.
