"This white paper is part of a series that promotes knowledge about language technology and its potential. This analysis focused on the 23 official European languages as well as other important national and regional languages in Europe. The results of this analysis suggest that there are many significant research gaps for each language. A more detailed expert analysis and assessment of the current situation will help maximise the impact of additional research and minimize any risks. META-NET consists of 54 research centres from 33 countries that are working with stakeholders from commercial businesses, government agencies, industry, research organisations, software companies, technology providers and European universities. Together, they are creating a common technology vision while developing a strategic research agenda that shows how language technology applications can address any research gaps by 2020."

"This book is written to help college and university students enhance their pronunciation and communication skills. The matter in the book is divided into three parts–Computer Assisted Language Learning, The Sound System of English and Communication Skills. Part one deals with the uses of computers and information technology in developing language skills. Part two endeavours to help the students learn the appropriate pronunciation of English. The focus here is mainly on the practical aspects of English phonetics. The information covered in this part, it is hoped, will help in overcoming the Mother Tongue Influence (MTI). In the era of globalization, where you are expected to speak English with global intelligibility, Accent Neutralization or Accent Reduction has assumed greater importance than ever before. Accent neutralization/reduction attempts to reduce the Mother Tongue Influence (MTI) and makes spoken English sound closer to the American or British variety. Part three seeks to help students develop their communication skills. This section also provides practical tips for effective public speaking, preparing résumés, facing interviews, making presentations, participating in group discussions and debates. We believe that this book will not only meet the needs of the target group, but also be found equally useful by all those working towards improving their language and communication skills. The book draws upon our experience of teaching English. Most of the material has been drawn from our notes and from other different sources. Unfortunately, the sources were not properly noted or available; hence it became impossible to provide accurate acknowledgements."
