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…

Our action research study used a mixed design to explore the experiences of 90 pre- and in-service ESL, foreign language (FL), and bilingual teachers in studying and incorporating technology-enhanced language learning (TELL) in their classrooms. Through focus on a TELL…

This investigation examines whether foreign language (FL) students learn cultural information embedded in videos. Fifty beginning French students participated. They viewed eight targeted videos as part of their multimedia-based curriculum. A pretest and a posttest assessed long-term gains in overall…

We have developed an entirely new template-automaton-based knowledge database system for an interactive intelligent language tutoring system (ILTS) for Japanese-English translation whereby model translations as well as a taxonomy of bugs extracted from ill formed translations typical of nonnative learners…

In a project-based approach to teaching a foreign language at the university level, students are often required to participate in several task-based writing activities. In doing so, language learners not only write incorrect forms, but also correct forms of the…

We present four sets of NLP-based exercises for which error correction and feedback are produced by means of a rich database in which linguistic information is encoded either at the lexical or at the grammatical level. One exercise type "Question-Answering"…
