Looking ahead with a suggestion for the next conference gathering: as
talking comes before writing, has there ever been a conference theme
that explores language speaking skills and transfer of speech to text?
I mean, is writing (the embodiment of words) an integrative action in
language learning? Or a disintegrative one? Does the outcome depend on
what is the mother language of the learner. I mean, performance texts
were recognized as documents in the landmark legal decision known as
Delgamuuwk. Early legal writing is said to have been poetic. Is this
the reverse of text-to-voice which I am now learning as an adaptive
technology? Either way, this is a potentially rich strategy for
language learning. And then there is the whole issue of higher
education for blind learners.
