The goal of this Learning Partnership is to make foreign language learning on the computer more efficient by using speech technology. Furthermore we want to analyse what the barriers are, which keep learners away from using e-learning software for language learning. One part of this analysis will be the question how learners can be motivated to use e-learning systems. In this context we will focus on women, older learners, and language teachers as well. In order to exemplify the possibilities of speech technology for language learning, we will create very simple prototypes (by creating them newly or adapting existing applications). These protypes will be presented to the learners on the project workshops, who then can tell their opinions about them and suggest new ideas. (One example for such an easy prototype is a program, which reads out sentences loudly, while the learner has to try to understand them and type them correctly afterwards.) After the Learning Partnership we want to use the results to jointly create a European language e-learning system with speech technology. In order to evaluate our project properly, at each project meeting and each workshop an evaluation session will be held.
