Technology Innovations for Researching and Teaching
Pronunciation, Listening, and Speaking
15th Annual
Iowa State University, Ames, IA
September 12-14, 2024
John Levis & Sinem Sonsaat-Hegelheimer, Organizers
The rise of AI and ChatGPT has again emphasized the central importance of technology in the teaching, research, and assessment of spoken language (pronunciation, listening, and speaking). These new uses of technology join Automatic Speech Recognition, acoustic analysis, High Variability Phonetic Training, corpus-based approaches, and online approaches to teaching spoken language in expanding the importance of spoken language in language teaching and applied linguistics. The 15th annual PSLLT conference invites abstracts on any current topic focused on pronunciation and spoken language research and teaching, with a special emphasis on the use of technology. Abstracts for any language or L2 pronunciation and spoken language context are welcome. Abstracts that match the theme of the conference will be given preference, but any valuable study or teaching tip on L2 pronunciation for any second language will be fully considered. Abstracts can be up to 300 words, including no more than five references.
All the best...
The PSLLT 2024 committee would like to thank all presenters, speakers, and attendees for making PSLLT 2024 a success.
We hope you enjoyed your stay in Ames. A special thank you to those traveling from far away to visit Iowa. Safe travels!
