The improvement of speech recognition and speech analysis techniques favor the development of tools for various applications related to speech learning: pathological voice assessment, aid to diagnosis, aid to oral communication, aid to speech perception. We arc dealing in this paper with speech education (and reeducation), and with foreign language teaching.
   Based on our experience gained in the development of the SIRENE 2 system, we present the different aspects of the ongoing work concerning speech analysis and feature extraction, automatic guidance of a trainee, and performance assessment. Emphasis is given to the importance of acoustic-phonetic analysis at different abstraction levels. These points arc illustrated with practical examples.
