我们提出了一个基于最小对技术的二语发音训练严肃游戏，结合了暴露、辨别和产生的序列，并使用了文本到语音和语音识别系统。我们在一段时间内测量了用户的生产质量，以便评估使用该应用程序后的改进情况。在初始性能水平较差的用户中发现了实质性的改进。该计划的游戏化资源吸引了很高比例的用户。我们认为有必要在未来版本中为用户提供反馈，以提高他们的性能，并避免在长期使用该工具后检测到性能下降。
We present a L2 pronunciation training serious game based on the minimal-pairs technique, incorporating sequences of exposure, discrimination and production, and using text-tospeech and speech recognition systems. We have measured the quality of users’ production during a period of time in order to assess improvement after using the application. Substantial improvement is found among users with poorer initial performance levels. The program’s gamification resources manage to engage a high percentage of users. A need is felt to include feedback for users in future versions with the purpose of increasing their performance and avoiding the performance drop detected after protracted use of the tool.
