There are five new reviews for you this time. Two are for ESL, at opposite ends of the language proficiency spectrum. The first, Streaming Speech, targets very advanced adult learners. The second, Reading Shape-Up, is intended for children aged 8-12. There is also an evaluation of the ESL potential of Fonix iSpeak, a text to speech synthesizer. In addition, you'll find an assessment of Clavis Sinica, a Chinese text reader and dictionary. Lastly, we are sure that everyone will find the review of Language Evaluator, an evaluation tool for video-taped communicative activities, to be of particular interest. Enjoy! -- Jack Burston, Ph.D. Lee Abraham CALICO Software Review Editor Assistant Software Review Editor College of Liberal Arts College of Liberal Arts Rochester Institute of Technology Temple University Rochester, NY 14623-5604 Philadelphia, PA 11929
