The coordination and supervision of PIMLICO with regard to its project development, quality control, implementation, reporting and follow-through have been undertaken by Olivier Brouet and Florence Ortmans at Tipik, whose work has been invaluable in the completion of this first phase of the project. The interviews with the 40 selected small and medium-sized international companies across 27 EU Member States were undertaken by a team of selected international researchers whose work provided the essential empirical data for the study. Their careful, well-researched contact, visits and highly productive interviews, which were so vital to the successful compilation of this report, took place over a six-month period during 2010. Their field reports of international SME trading activity using languages were collated to provide key insights into how exemplar companies employ language management strategies to improve their performance and particularly their bottom line. The selection and day-to-day management of the researchers, including international communications, guidance and training, and the collation of the individual country reports, were ably handled by Susanne Hagen, Semantica Ltd (UK), whose persistence, as well as her expert deployment of diplomatic and project management skills were an essential ingredient in the success of the PIMLICO survey. The research methodology was based on models, definitions and systems adapted from the ELAN Project (2006). Critical amongst these is the concept, definition and exemplification of the language management strategy (LMS). Without the expert knowledge of multilingual business communication set out and described by Professor Hagen, the principal author of the ELAN Report, it would have been difficult to have the necessary tools to identify and describe how best practice can be optimally achieved by European SMEs and how they can secure international trade success. The publication of this report now forms the basis for the next stage of the project. In the second phase, Tipik’s team will draw on the main insights contained in the report to implement a European communication initiative and to promote the exemplar practice and application of language management strategies amongst European businesses during 2011. They will achieve this with the assistance of key business stakeholders, such as the EU’s Business Platform, and they will make available a significant range of products, such as guides and systems to support SMEs and disseminate these throughout Europe. The team-work of researchers, project managers, and communications specialists in producing this report is greatly appreciated. But as the author I would like to extend a special thanks to the small and medium-sized European businesses which appear in Annex 5 who willingly gave up time to take part in this study and give us the benefit of their valuable know-how to assist other companies to become more successful in their international activity.

In fact, the global market has been estimated at over 50 bn dollars and is growing every year. The British Council estimates that soon over 2 bn people will be learning English.

  • A Survey of English Language Teaching in Higher Institutions of Learning in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia

A sample of 100 English learners from public and private institutions participated in this study. Analysis of the responses indicated that English language is remaining to be difficult to master, due to speaking environment, proficiency of the teachers and other factors. However, the Government is on the right direction to improve this situation by following Common European Framework of Reference of Languages. As any other system, it takes time to put into realization and start up the mechanism. This observation carries a pedagogical perspective and includes the overview of the general picture based on Private, Public and Stand Alone English educational institutions. This study has highlighted the practical importance of British Framework of English learning and suggests to focus on emphasis of the learning process instead of a result.

  • A Comparison of Learner Characteristics, Beliefs, and Usage of ASR-CALL Systems
    A comparison of learner characteristics, beliefs, and usage of ASR-CALL systems Gemma Artieda1 and Bindi Clements2 Abstract. Wall Street English3 has built online activities that allow students to record phrases and receive word-level Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) driven pronunciation feedback. Students in language centres in China, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, and Italy (N=2,867) used ASR-Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) activities, and some (N=482) completed a questionnaire. A high number of students reported that ASR-CALL activities helped them to improve their pronunciation. However, the study found remarkable differences in usage of product features across countries, with students from Vietnam and China using more retries than Saudi Arabia, and students from Italy using the fewest retries. Students from China, Vietnam, and Saudi Arabia more frequently listened to model audios than students from Italy. A series of Kruskal-Wallis tests revealed significant group differences between dominant L1 and students’ beliefs and perceptions using ASR, and between age groups and students’ beliefs and perceptions using ASR. This study points to the importance of considering regional differences, and suggests that learner engagement may depend not only on the effectiveness of the technology, but also on learner beliefs and perceptions. Keywords: ASR, speech recognition, pronunciation, pronunciation feedback, learner beliefs and perceptions. 1. Introduction ASR-CALL activities offer considerable opportunities for individualised practice and personalised feedback on pronunciation (Levis, 2007), and recent studies 1.
