pronunciation and foster phonological awareness and intercultural understanding; (2) to train users-including teachers, learners, and researchers in the materials and data derived from the project; (3) to produce educational materials and high quality research publications based on data culled from Digital and Learning Analytics, as well as Education \/ Learning Technologies. Besides, our results will be shared with the general public, which will not only enhance the visibility of interdisciplinary research (uniting insights from Digital Humanities, e-Learning, m-Learning and Communication Technologies) but will also empower the communicative competence of our society.<\/b><\/p>\n Research\/Work Team:<\/p>\n S1: Dr Mar\u00eda de los \u00c1ngeles G\u00f3mez Gonz\u00e1lez<\/a> (USC), Dr Alfonso Lago Ferreiro (UVigo), Dr Cristina Castillo Rodr\u00edguez (UMA), Dr Inmaculada Clotilde Santos D\u00edaz (UMA), Dr Milagros Torrado Cesp\u00f3n<\/a> (UNIR), Dr Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda D\u00edaz Lage<\/a> (UNIR), Dr Mar\u00eda Jos\u00e9 Rodr\u00edguez Malmierca (CESGA), BS Diego Nieto Caride (CESGA), Dr Xos\u00e9 Luis Regueira Fern\u00e1ndez (USC), Dr Mart\u00edn Llamas Nistal (UVigo), Dr Carlos Vaz de Carbalho (PI Porto), Bronwen Evans (UCL), Elisabetta Adami (University of Leeds).<\/b><\/p>\n S2: Jes\u00fas Romero Trillo (AUM), Mar\u00eda Dolores Ram\u00edrez Verdugo (AUM), Eva M. Mestre Mestre (UPV), MA Ra\u00fal Jim\u00e9nez Vilches (AUM), Nancy \u00c1vila Ledesma (UnEx), MA Pauline Madella (University of Brighton).<\/b><\/p>\n <\/b><\/p>\n <\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Being an international benchmark in the design of EFL digital tools for Spanish speakers by developing the EPSS method (English Pronunciation for Speakers of Spanish<\/em>) in prior projects, Subproject (S1) <\/strong>has focused this time on providing a holistic vision of segmental phonetics following EPSS but incorporating the serious games<\/em> approach. The main goal of S1 has been the development of two cross-platform digital applications (Windows, Apple): e-SoundWay: Free Roaming<\/em> (secondary education) and e-SoundWay: The Route<\/em> (higher education). These apps will provide relevant and adequate audiovisual materials for e-learning and m-learning throughout more than 600 interactive and multimedia minigames designed with the collaboration of (inter)national intersecting groups (linguists, historians, technologists, musicians, artists, etc.). The two e-SoundWay apps propose different formative paths to learn the sounds and prosody of the English language (and other related matters), with the goal of practicing three phonetic skills: perception\/comprehension, production\/pronunciation, and transcription, in order to enhance speaking, writing, listening, and reading skills, in addition to acquiring historical and cultural knowledge by following the route of the Camino de Santiago. Furthermore, eight different English accents are practiced through a diverse cast of avatars, accounting for a gender perspective with a female guide-instructor and other historical figures or relevant personalities from the Jacobean route. Both apps include trilingual audiobooks (English, Spanish, Galician), as well as user guides in the three languages. Connections have been established with private companies and several services from the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC) and other institutions to register and optimize the contents of both apps, along with ensuring its transfer in the most efficient way possible.<\/p>\n Numerically, the scientific results of S1 amount to more than 50 (inter)national publications, 15 conference presentations (mainly international), 4 transfer of knowledge results, 2 PhD thesis defenses, and the organization of 4 international scientific events collaboratively with several (inter)national groups with which we have been collaborating on a stable basis, among others.<\/p>\n On the other hand, Subproject S2<\/strong> is pioneer at an international level in combining the teaching of English prosody (stress, rhythm, intonation) with pragmatics by focusing on objective acoustic parameters. Making use of the linguistic model Prosodic Pragmatics<\/em>, introduced by the project PI, the research group created a didactic guide and model dialogues that are meant to be used in the learning of English prosody in context. The selected themes for the dialogues are related to the idea of a journey that the user has to embark on and the eventualities that may await him\/her.<\/p>\n After pilot testing the materials on learners of English as an L2 and L3, they were incorporated into an application designed for the project called TEPP (Teaching English Prosodic Pragmatics<\/em>), which is available on IOS and Google Play. The app is designed with a dynamic vision in mind and allows users to record their voice and send the results to the research group for its subsequent feedback and analysis.<\/p>\n The scientific results of S2 have been shared in over 28 international publications, 10 conferences, and 9 international seminars\/workshops, as well as 2 PhD defenses and other 2 in progress; there has also been steady communication with several research groups from the United Kingdom. The app has started being used with students from the English Studies degree at the Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Madrid and it will be offered to some language schools and secondary high schools.<\/p>\n \n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n
