| Title | Speech recording assessment tool available online |
| Body | Staff at San Diego State University's Language Acquisition Resource Center have developed an online speech test authoring and administration tool, "LARCStar," the LARC Speech Test Authoring Resource; it is available to any interested party, without expense. The speech recording tool uses ActiveX technologies, and is available as open source code. The primary development goal was to provide an online speech testing tool which could be used with ease and without any requirement of computer expertise on the part of the faculty member who composes and administers the test, or the student who takes it. LARCStar requires that the student computer be a PC. Though the software seems very robust, this should be considered a beta version. For further information, please look at http://larctest.sdsu.edu/larcstar.htm On this site you will find a link to a user's manual, which will give you a very full description of LARCStar, if you should wish additional detail. There is also a link for downloading the materials. LARCStar was developed by a team which includes Robin Park, Marcia Ledezman Macias, and Chester Kim, with support from LARC's director, Mary Ann Lyman Hager, very gratefully acknowledged. I will be happy to respond to questions about LARCStar, sent to me at wstrombe@mail.sdsu.edu. Please be aware, though, that I will be on vacation until August 16, and won't be able to answer queries until I return. Stromberg, W.
