This paper describes a web-based ICALL system for German that provides error-specific feedback suited to learner expertise. The main focus of the discussion is on the Domain Knowledge and the Filtering Module. The Domain Knowledge represents the knowledge of linguistic…

This article presents the development of a student model that is used in a Japanese language intelligent tutoring system to assess pupils' proficiency at reading technical Japanese. A computer-assisted knowledge acquisition system is designed to generate a domain knowledge base…

This study compares the effectiveness of online textual glosses enhanced with modified corpus-extracted sentences presented in concordance lines and textual glosses enhanced with dictionary definitions drawn from an online learner’s dictionary for academic vocabulary learning at higher proficiency levels. Particularly,…

Most pedagogical applications of wikis in foreign language education draw on this collaborative tool to improve (formal) writing skills or to develop target language cultural sensitivity, missing largely on the opportunity to support student-developed L2 content knowledge. Seeking an alternative…

The Internet is increasingly considered as an instructional tool for foreign language learning both within and beyond classroom learning. This article reports a pilot study on the use of a combination of Internet technologies--on-line newspapers and on-line chatrooms--to enhance the…

A crucial question for automatically analyzing learner language is to determine which grammatical information is relevant and useful for learner feedback. Based on knowledge about how learner language varies in its grammatical properties, we propose a framework for reusing analyses…

Instructional parsers will figure prominently in future computer-assisted language learning. Most contemporary computational linguistics research is being conducted in Lisp. A knowledge of Lisp parsing should therefore help prepare serious language teachers for future CALL. Despite Lisp's manifest suitability to…
