“…While the potential of using mobile application for language learning has also been explored in many studies (e.g [15], [27], [32]) and its development has also investigated in international setting, few studies have been conducted focusing on its developmental side particularly in the Philippine context; much more on developing applications intended to improve specific language topics (e.g., least mastered topics in English). Some of the works are usually focused on speaking [33], [34] and vocabulary [35], [36].…”

English language proficiency of students in the Philippines is a point of concern by many institutions particularly as it was highlighted when the results of the first participation of the country in the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) was released. The use of technology-aided educational applications dedicated to language learning, particularly those that can be accessed through mobile devices, is heavily studied internationally. However, in the Philippines, there is a limited number of developed mobile-supported applications that assist acquisition and learning of language, specifically English. Thus, the study aims were to develop a mobile learning application intended to assist students in learning a least mastered topic in English. The study utilized mixed-method descriptive research design. For the quantitative part, it employed a content-validated questionnaire to survey 132 fifth grade students, while for the qualitative part; it interviewed five English language teachers in the Philippines. A mobile learning application intended for smartphones in an Android OS was developed with focus on subject-verb agreement (SVA) as identified topic which was divided into 10 sub-topics. The application comprises two main parts: The Learn and Play Mode. Additionally, the application was also able to integrate an animated character named Alvin to simulate interaction. Alvin interacts with the user by narrating lessons, giving remarks, providing basic corrective feedback in the form of text, and expressing feelings based on the user’s inputs when doing exercises. The survey from students aged 10 to 12 years old showed that they have very often access to technological devices (i.e., desktop, laptops, tablet, smartphone) (M = 4.33) and that their technology aptitude in using them is high (M = 3.45). Furthermore, results also showed that students mostly prefer smartphones for their learning as it is their most available device at home. It is recommended to subject the developed mobile application to a user acceptance and usability testing in different educational contexts. Additionally, it is suggested to explore newer technologies like artificial intelligence to make the application intelligent and more responsive to students’ needs and inputs. Future studies may also include addition of new topics as well as developing similar applications that are localized and culturally-aware.

Speech Disorders in children is the fifth highest occurring disability in India. Speech Disorders have a prevalence of 8 to 9 percent in children. Thus early diagnosis and treatment can increase the recovery rate among children in the age group of 3-12 years. Due to the shortage in the number of Speech Language Pathologists all over world, it becomes impossible for everyone to seek treatment. This brought forth a need for alternative modes of Speech Therapy. Computer-Based Speech Therapy is the most preferred alternative mode of speech therapy due to its availability and effectiveness. But most Computer Based applications are very expensive and cannot be afforded by the common man. In this paper we introduce a game application which assesses the speech of a child by analyzing the voice activity and the mispronounced phonemes in the speech. This application is aimed to provide assistance to Speech Language Pathologists.

“…Reliability refers to the level at which the application responds correctly and consistently regarding its purpose [29]. • Sensitivity is the level at which the tool can discriminate the proper pronunciations from the wrong ones [32].…”

Currently, not all children that need speech therapy have access to a therapist. With the current international shortage of speech–language pathologists (SLPs), there is a demand for online tools to support SLPs with their daily tasks. Several online speech therapy (OST) systems have been designed and proposed in the literature; however, the implementation of these systems is lacking. The technical knowledge that is needed to use these programs is a challenge for SLPs. There has been limited effort to systematically identify, analyze and report the findings of prior studies. We provide the results of an extensive literature review of OST systems for childhood speech communication disorders. We systematically review OST systems that can be used in clinical settings or from home as part of a treatment program for children with speech communication disorders. Our search strategy found 4481 papers, of which 35 were identified as focusing on speech therapy programs for speech communication disorders. The features of these programs were examined, and the main findings are extracted and presented. Our analysis indicates that most systems which are designed mainly to support the SLPs adopt and use supervised machine learning approaches that are either desktop-based or mobile-phone-based applications. Our findings reveal that speech therapy systems can provide important benefits for childhood speech. A collaboration between computer programmers and SLPs can contribute to implementing useful automated programs, leading to more children having access to good speech therapy.
