Create English learning software for developing English ability in Korean Elementary students using a Speech Recognition System

The purpose of this paper is to provide effective ways to suggest ideas to create English learning software for developing English ability in Korean elementary students using a speech recognition system. To achieve this purpose, this paper examines the recent development of the technology of speech recognition engines. Moreover, this study analyzes limits to the development of English learning software using speech recognition systems on the software market. Finally, this study also suggests detailed features that should be considered in creating English learning software using speech recognition systems: 1) add a 'Helper function' and a 'special signal function' to the database part, and 2) apply a 'Branching Method' to allow more student-directed conversation in the process of designing the speech recognition engine.
