Η Χρήση Τεχνολογιών Ακουστικής Ανάλυσης της Ομιλίας στο Δημοτικό Σχολείο

Abstract

Speech is the foremost medium of human expression and communication. Oral language development is highly interlinked with achievement of learning outcomes in all areas of the curriculum as well as general growth and success of the child. Students with speech impairments and foreign students learning Greek as a second language (L2) require special pronunciation training. Speech technology can make pronunciation teaching feasible in primary school, at the same time bridging two different subject areas such as language and physical sciences. The present paper provides a basic description of speech analysis and a review of its utilization in speech training. Teaching basic speech acoustics in primary school with the use of technology can significantly improve the students’ oral communication, while promoting their scientific knowledge.
