14 July - Thailand Educators Network Evening...
Voice-recognition pronunciation-enhancing software for individual and group practice and support
Tuesday, 14 July 2009 will see Thailand Educators Network (TEN) get together a few days later than usual, but on this evening, in July, Malcolm Southern from Princeton Language School will be talking about a new and exciting voice-recognition pronunciation software and how it can help Thai students to improve their pronunciation and reading skills.
Using set lessons or tailor-made material, the software allows students to listen, repeat words, phrases and sentences on their own, in small groups or in larger classes.
The key, though, is that this software then provides feedback and further practice on unique phonemes, words and phrases that have not been correctly produced allowing students the opportunity to gain immediate input and practice with any aspects of English pronunciation with which they might be encountering difficulties.

However, remember we will be meeting on Tuesday, 14 July and not Friday, 10 July (with so many holidays – Monday, 6 July for some, Tuesday, 7 July and Wednesday 8 July for most of us, we felt it would be best to wait a few days...)
The event starts at 6 pm; Malcolm’s talk at 6.50 pm. Entrance is 380 Baht for non-members and 280 Baht for members.
Date: Wednesday 14 July, 6PM-8.30PM
