The TLATOA Speech Processing Group at UDLA, Puebla has developed a couple of applications using the CSLU Toolkit to support language acquisition for hearing impaired children of the Jean Piaget Special Education School in Puebla, México. These applications guide the practice of the pronunciation of vowels and a set of simple short words. The present paper describes the application for vowel production, the test plan and the first results as well as experiences of applying speech technology to support language acquisition for children in a public school in Mexico.
