note = "Funding Information: Within language teaching and learning, these automatic speech recognition systems are useful for speech assessment and linguistic analysis. For instance, Kang and Kevin Hirschi (with Helmer Strik and Catia Cucchiarini at Radboud University, John Hansen at the University of Texas-Dallas, and Keelan Evanini at the Educational Testing Service) are currently developing an affective interactive oral communication tutor for limited English proficiency populations. Using the 2019 IELTS joint research fund, Kang (with Seoul National University{\textquoteright}s Hyunkee Ahn and NAU{\textquoteright}s Meghan Moran and Katherine Yaw) is also applying such tools to a project analyzing the linguistic progression of Korean adult learners of English who are preparing for the IELTS (Kang et al., 2018a, 2018b, 2019; Kang et al., forthcoming). In an additional study involving speech analysis, alumna Mar{\'i}a Nelly Guti{\'e}rrez Arvizu (Universidad de Sonora) is investigating fluency features in Spanish-speaking kindergarten learners of English. This is the first funded project supported by the program of Alianza Inter-Universitaria Sonora-Arizona.",
