However, little is known about student reactions to ASRbased dictation practice. This qualitative study examines student perspectives, identifying advantages and challenges to working with dictation software and generating ideas for the ideal ASR dictation program. Advanced ESL participants (n=16) worked with Windows Speech Recognition in a three-week hybrid pronunciation workshop. The study identifies many themes, including advantages such as ease of use, usefulness for pronunciation learning due to feedback provided, and heightened awareness of pronunciation issues, but also disadvantages, such as frustrating levels of recognition, particularly in the first attempt, doubts of the program’s transcription abilities, and lack of convenience. Participants reported that convenience and greater support in pronunciation practice would be important for an ideal program.  \nKeywords: pronunciation; second language acquisition; speech recognition; learner autonomy  \nIntroduction  \nFor the last 20 years, significant attention has been paid to Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) in language learning. ASR is a technology that analyzes speech captured by a microphone and formulates an output, often written transcription (Levis & Suvorov, 2014) . ASR is present in popular language  \nAffiliation  \nSouthern Illinois University, USA.  \nemail: [shannon.mccrocklin@siu.edu](shannon.mccrocklin@siu.edu)  \ncalico journal vol 36.2 2019 119–137 [https://doi.org/10.1558/cj.34738](https://doi.org/10.1558/cj.34738)  \n©2019, equinox publishing   \n120 Feedback Regarding ASR-based Dictation Practice  \nlearning software, such as Rosetta Stone, to give students practice speaking the language while providing feedback on pronunciation.  \nPronunciation feedback is important because many second language (L2) learners miscategorize sounds in the L2 based on sound categories of their first language and struggle to notice errors in their speech (Blankenship, 1991; Flege, Munro, & Fox, 1993) . In order for students to practice successfully on their own, they need feedback (Sheerin, 1997), and immediate feedback is thought to be particularly important for pronunciation (Saito & Lyster, 2012) . Further, because practice with technology can be potentially endless, ASR can enable pronunciation feedback during extensive experimentation, which Schwienhorst (2007) argues is necessary for empowering students to become autonomous learners.  \nMuch of the current research has focused on ASR-based Computer-Assisted Pronunciation Training (CAPT) programs. CAPT systems typically lead students through self-paced training with numerous speech samples and offer opportunities for production practice, often having students repeat words or respond to particular prompts (Neri, Mich, Gerosa, & Giuliani, 2008) . CAPT researchers have made great strides in improving ASR recognition of nonnative speech (Cucciarini & Strik, 2018; Tepperman, 2009) and the quality of feedback provided (Gao, Xie, Cao, & Zhang, 2015; Wang, Qian, & Meng, 2013) . Today, for ASR-based CAPT programs that score pronunciation of known utterances, the scores are almost as reliable as human raters (Cincarek, Gruhn, Hacker, Nöth, & Nakamura, 2008; Neri, Cucchiarini, & Strik, 2003) . Further, ASR-based CAPT programs have facilitated learning for diverse populations of learners (Hincks, 2003; Cucchiarini & Strik, 2018; Neri et al., 2008; Wang & Young, 2015) . Based on not only the validity of ASR scores, but also students’ positive reactions, Cordier (2009) calls for ASR-based CAPT to be made available to all students learning foreign languages.  \nNevertheless, in order to ","cbCaivvqKsIutc7F","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivvqKsIutc7F","pdf",377914,"English","# Introduction\n## Background: ASR in language learning\n## Pronunciation feedback and learner autonomy\n## Related work: ASR-based CAPT programs\n## ASR dictation programs: flexibility and limitations","[{\"question\":\"What does the study examine about ASR-based dictation practice?\",\"answer\":\"The study examines student perspectives on ASR-based dictation for pronunciation learning, focusing on both advantages and challenges and ideas for an ideal program.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the study conducted?\",\"answer\":\"Advanced ESL participants (n=16) used Windows Speech Recognition in a three-week hybrid pronunciation workshop.\"},{\"question\":\"What advantages did learners report?\",\"answer\":\"Learners reported ease of use and usefulness for pronunciation learning due to feedback, along with increased awareness of pronunciation issues.\"},{\"question\":\"What disadvantages did learners report?\",\"answer\":\"Learners reported frustrating recognition levels, especially on the first attempt, doubts about transcription abilities, and lack of convenience, suggesting that ideal programs need more support and better convenience.\"}]","Learners’ Feedback Regarding ASR-based Dictation Practice for Pronunciation Learning | PDF",1792082065,48]
