International Phonetic Alphabet

a study in computer aided learning through immersive reading of an unfamiliar orthography

You can contribute to the study of a frustration-mitigation model for beginning readers while learning the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), a tool for describing the intricacies of language — like the phonetic divergence of love, cove, and move.

Any hesitation, apprehension, or frustration you feel about learning the IPA is felt by millions of children who struggle as emergent readers of standard text. By reenacting the role of an emergent reader through this study, your participation will give us the data we need to create better tools which help these struggling readers.

Thanks to the University of Utah Lassonde Entrepreneur Institute's Get Seeded fund, sponsored by Zions Bank, you could be compensated for your diligent participation, while funding lasts.
