Title
ProTutor: historic open learner models for pronunciation tutoring
Abstract
Acquiring proper pronunciation is difficult for second language learners. We built a Russian pronunciation tutor, called ProTutor, that uses open learner models (OLMs). Of particular interest is ProTutor's "historic OLM" that incorporates historic information about learner performance to encourage reflection and maintain learner motivation. In a formative evaluation participants indicated that ProTutor was helpful and fun to use.
