English speaker

The objective of this research was to explore the effect of applying TED Talks as an international platform to promote the first-year English majored students’ presentation performance. Even though a lot of research has been done on how to help English language learners become better speakers, few of them focus on using TED videos and prove them to be efficient educational resources for enhancing students’ presentation skills.

This paper proposes a semi-supervised multilingual speaker verification (MSV) system submitted for the 2 tasks, MSV for the Asian language inside the training set (T01) and outside the training set (T02) in O-COCOSDA and VLSP challenge 2022. To solve the problem, our strategy is training a baseline acoustic model with given labeled data (MSV CommonVoice) and fine-tuning the trained acoustic model with both given labeled data and given unlabeled data (MSV Youtube).

This study is an endeavour to explicate the dissonance of the linguistic quality outcome of study abroad (SA) experiences by exploring the second language (L2) motivation of six academic sojourners in Manchester. A person-in-context approach revealed that developing intimate relationships with ‘native-speakers’, providing L2-mediated interaction opportunities with international students, and social approval were key determinants of the extent to which SA students were invested in social practices.

Writing is very important for learners; it is a dynamic and creative skill. Although studies on students’ problems when writing a dissertation among Native Speakers (NS) are widely done, studies on English as a Foreign Language (EFL) are limited, especially those which examine problems faced while writing dissertations among Ph.D. EFL learners, in particular, Jordanian Ph.D. candidates.

In this article, the author proposed a Post-Filtering (PF), which based on the properties of considered recording environment DOA to enhance the speech quality of target speaker and reduce the other non-target speaker at the opposite direction. Experimental results were verified in real scenario with dialogue between two speakers, which stand opposite direction, and show the effectiveness of the suggested PF when compared with the author’s previous work.

In this paper, we propose the Adapt-TTS model that allows high-quality audio synthesis from a small adaptive sample without training to solve these problems. The main contributions of the paper are: 1) The extracting mel-vector (EMV) architecture allows for a better representation of speaker characteristics and speech style; 2) An improved zero-shot model with a denoising diffusion model (mel-spectrogram denoiser) component allows for new voice synthesis without training with better quality (less noise).
