Abstract

This book presents and discusses efforts to develop Intelligent Computer Assisted Language Learning (ICALL) programs based on advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing (NLP). Sixteen of the book's 20 chapters provide descriptions of particular ICALL programs, divided into three categories: text-based language tutors and learning environments, dialogue-based language games, and graphics-based language tutors and learning environments. Four chapters at the end offer general commentary on ICALL from the perspectives of experimental psychology (by Brian MacWhinney), linguistics and AI (by Alan Bailin), second language acquisition theory (by Nina Garret), and educational theory (by Rebecca Oxford).
