The current paper deals with the relation between language resources and Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) systems: language resources are essential in the development of CALL applications, during the development of the system resources are created, and finally the CALL system itself can be used to generate additional resources that are useful for research and development of new

Integration of several state-of-the-art technologies related to spoken language and natural language processing used in Intelligent Computer Assisted Language Learning (ICALL) systems. We envision to show that the technology has a level of maturity that suggests that the time may be right to use it at high school.

As Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) has taken an important role in foreign language teaching and learning, not only is concrete data about the usefulness of technologymediated environments for these purposes necessary, but also how the learning process is improved in such environments when learner training for CALL. The objective of this paper is to present an investigation which soug...

a community of practice may shape and reshape the identity of members of the community through providing them with situated learning or learning environment. this study, therefore, is to clarify the salient learning-based features of the language teaching community of practice that might formulate the identity of language teachers. to this end, the study examined how learning situations in two ...

different factors determine language teachers’ degree of success in their teaching practices. among these factors, teachers’ own learning experience can play a pivotal role since it affects teachers’ attitudes toward aspects of the knowledge they are to teach. educators and researchers may have paid less attention to an indispensable component of teachers’ learning experience: learning strategi...

Many excellent corpus-based language learning resources (e.g., concordancers) have been freely available on the Internet for some time. Google assisted language learning (GALL) is also gaining increasing acceptance. These tools are a potential resource for English as an additional language (EAL) university students who want to independently improve their academic writing. However, many Australi...

The goal of Mike Levy and Glenn Stockwell's CALL Dimensions: Options and Issues in Computer-Assisted Language Learning is to build a detailed picture of modern-day computer-assisted language learning (CALL) for language teachers, researchers, and materials designers and evaluators. To begin their discussion on CALL, Levy and Stockwell identified a number of keyword descriptors, called "CALL dim...

The technology developed for task-based spoken dialogue systems (SDS) has a significant potential for Computer-Assisted Language Learning. Based on the CMU Let’s Go SDS, we describe two areas in which we investigated adaptations of the technology to non-native speakers: speech recognition and correction prompt generation. Although difficulties remain, particularly towards robust understanding, ...
