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...

Authenticity of language learning tasks, authenticity of learning experiences and the use of authentic language are important characteristics of communicative language teaching and learning. In this article, ways of achieving productive use of authentic language in a computer-assisted language learning environment are discussed. This discussion concentrates on a particular area of CALL—parser-b...

Hypertext and Hypermedia require no assumptions as to the nature of law, nor any rule formalism; they are a "quick and dirty" method of presenting material legal or otherwise. Until now hypertext has lacked a theoretical foundation. Some might argue that this is one of its greatest virtues, in that building Hypertext requires no grand theory. However, Critical Theory, in particular Derridian/Fo...

In this paper we present the research results of learning history using KASTALIA compared by the traditional teaching method using the school textbook in electronic format. KASTALIA is an educational hypermedia environment for learning archaic history and art. The special characteristics of the environment are the organization of the complex historical information, the context in which the hist...

This paper examines the dynamics of college students’ selfregulatory processes within self-regulated learning (SRL) and externallyregulated learning (ERL) episodes during hypermedia learning. We re-analyzed and extended the results from an original study recently conducted by Azevedo and colleagues [1] to address four questions related to adaptivity, based on the temporal and dynamic deployment...

A challenge of the semantic web is provision of distributed information with well defined meaning, understandable for different parties. The aim of open hypermedia research has been to support such understanding on hypertext structures since several years. In this paper we show how the semantic web resource description formats can be utilized for automatic generation of hypertext structures fro...

with the advent of computer technology and educational software, hypermedia language learning materi-als made their way in foreign and second language classrooms. today the role of hypermedia in improv-ing communication skills is by no means deniable. this research aimed at investigating the effect of hy-permedia on the oral performance as well as the motivation of iranian efl learners. a prete...
