La prononciation est un facteur fondamental pour parler et écouter. Cependant, les instructions pour une articulation importante n'ont pas été suffisamment fournies dans les systèmes conventionnels d'apprentissage des langues assisté par ordinateur (CALL). Un cas typique est l’articulation de voyelles arrondies. Bien que la protrusion des lèvres soit essentielle à leur prononciation correcte, la perception de la protrusion des lèvres est souvent difficile pour les débutants. Pour résoudre ce problème, nous proposons une méthode innovante qui fournira une explication visuelle complète de l'articulation. Les mouvements des lèvres sont mesurés en trois dimensions et les images ou vidéos du visage sont pseudocolorées sur la base des mouvements. Les régions colorées représentent la saillie labiale des voyelles arrondies. Pour vérifier l'effet d'apprentissage de la méthode proposée, nous avons mené des expériences avec des étudiants japonais dans des cours de chinois. Les résultats ont montré que notre méthode présente des avantages par rapport aux matériaux vidéo conventionnels.

Abstract: Pronunciation is a fundamental factor in speaking and listening. However, instructions for important articulation have not been sufficiently provided in conventional computer-assisted language learning (CALL) systems. One typical case is the articulation of rounded vowels. Although lip protrusion is essential for their correct pronunciation, the perception of lip protrusion is often difficult for beginners. To tackle this issue, we propose an innovative method that will provide a comprehensive visual explanation for articulation. Lip movements are three-dimensionally measured, and face images or videos are pseudocoloured on the basis of the movements. The coloured regions represent the lip protrusion of rounded vowels. To verify the learning effect of the proposed method, we conducted experiments with Japanese undergraduates in Chinese classes. The results showed that our method has advantages over conventional video materials.
