Within the project coordinated by the Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona English pronunciation is fun: Going digital for Spanish speaking young learners with the aid of Artificial Intelligence (e-ProFun), this subproject will focus on the design and development of a computer-assisted pronunciation tool (CAPT) based on AI and gamification. This tool will allow boys and girls to practice and improve three basic skills related to learning to pronounce, say, perception and identification, phonic production and transcription.
