The paper follows a discourse on computer-assisted language learning. We examine problems of foreign language teaching and learning and introduce a metamodel that can be used to define learning models of language grammar structures in order to support teacher/student interaction. Special attention is paid to the concept of a virtual language lab. Our approach to language education assumes to en...

Women undergoing minimally invasive robotic-assisted surgery for a gynecologic malignancy have many questions and concerns related to the cancer diagnosis and surgery. The provision of information enhances coping with such illness-related challenges. A lack of print materials for these patients prompted the creation of a written teaching tool to improve informational support. A booklet was deve...

Computer-assisted language learning is a research field which explores the use of computational methods and techniques as well as new media for language learning and teaching. Recently, an increasing number of language learning systems have been developed which adopt Artificial Intelligence techniques. This paper provides an overview about intelligent computer-assisted language learning. The mo...

Review by Pia Sundqvist, Karlstads Universitet Technology-mediated TBLT: Researching Technology and Tasks, edited by Marta González-Lloret and Lourdes Ortega, presents a new framework in which tasks and technology are integrated in the language curriculum. Although Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) and Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) have been around for some time, the integration ...

The Machine Translation course at Dublin City University is taught to undergraduate students in Applied Computational Linguistics, while Computer-Assisted Translation is taught on two translator-training programmes, one undergraduate and one postgraduate. Given the differing backgrounds of these sets of students, the course material, methods of teaching and assessment all differ. We report here...
