Dear Colleague,

The SOCRATES Thematic Network "Speech Communication Sciences" wishes to help
education in our field by gathering and disseminating information about
courses, materials and good practice.

The Computer Aided Learning working group seeks to collect information
about computer-based teaching materials and tools used in courses in
Phonetics, Speech and Language Therapy, and in Spoken Language
Engineering.  We will then organise information about such material
and feed it back into the community to promote the use of computer-
based methods.  In the future we see that this activity will also
encourage the development of new materials.

Our first area of activity involves materials accessible via the
Internet.  Many of you have already worked on highly relevant material
(course texts, data, tools, etc.) that could be extremely useful to others.

At this stage, all we ask is that you express an interest in our
activities.  We can then communicate via e-mail to an interested group.
We want to know:

  (i)  if you have some relevant computer-based material on the Internet
       or material you are willing to make available;
  (ii) if you would be interested in being kept informed about computer
       aided learning in Phonetics and Speech Communication.

We would be grateful if you could give a response to this message (using the
section below) to

	tn-calint@essex.ac.uk

You can find out more information about the Thematic Network and our
working group at

Please distribute this message widely to your colleagues in your
institution and in your country.

Thank you for your interest,

Computer Aided Learning/Internet Working Group
