In this paper we present a computer assisted language learning (CALL) system that is developed to practice grammar in spoken language. To enable this, the system uses Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) to process the L2 learner’s responses. We investigate the possibility of providing corrective feedback (CF) on learner errors, and compare that with self-monitored language learning through outpu...

Review by Jim Ranalli, Iowa State University It is interesting to consider that task-based learning and teaching (TBLT) and computer-assisted language learning (CALL) both originated in the 1980s, were long considered marginal to mainstream language education (though this has thankfully changed), and more recently have been the focus of increasing scholarly attention, and yet to date no book ha...

This study investigated the influence of practice distribution (i.e. spacing between sessions) on successful vocabulary learning by examining two different time distributions, i.e. 1-day (1-DS) vs. 7-day (7-DS) using a freely available computer-assisted language programme (Quizlet). The achieved high ecological validity through classroom-based with low proficiency second (L2) English learners a...

This paper discusses arguments on necessitating needs analysis with mixed methods in computer-assisted language learning (CALL). CALL researchers argue that a lack of technology integration planning hinders using effectively schools. would be because teachers may not wellprepared regarding the use leadership and integration, calling for analysis. The purpose this is to examine definition needs,...

Recent years have shown an explosion of interest in using computers for language teaching and learning. A decade ago, the use of computers in the language classroom was of concern only to a small number of specialists. However, with the advent of multimedia computing and the Internet, the role of computers in language instruction has now become an important issue confronting large numbers of la...

IN THE PAST FEW DECADES, COMPUTER-ASSISTED LANGUAGE Instruction (CALI), or Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL), has been of interest because of its potential for providing individualized instruction. Interactivity between the computer and the learner is one of the important elements in CALI. Compared to a traditional textbook or workbook, a CALI program can provide immediate feedback on ...

In this paper, we propose a new method for extracting bilingual collocations from a parallel corpus to provide phrasal translation memories. The method integrates statistical and linguistic information to achieve effective extraction of bilingual collocations. The linguistic information includes parts of speech, chunks, and clauses. The method involves first obtaining an extended list of Englis...
