The computer-animated tutor for spoken and written language learning that is referred to in the article is called Baldi. The ability for people to hear the language and to see the language being spoken by the computer-animated tutor has shown great benefits in second language learning, for people with hearing loss and for autistic children. One of the reasons is that the skin on the animated-tutor’s face can be made transparent, thus allowing the learner to see how the vocal tract moves when saying the word they are learning.
