Intelligent Tutoring Systems for Foreign Language Learning

the long version

This volume presents the proceedings of an international workshop held for amultidisciplinary group of researchers involved in intelligent tutoring systems research for language learning. The papers include work on: - Computational bases, tools, and environments for delivering language instruction, - Theoretical frameworks for developing language-based architectures and computational grammars, - Pedagogical practice, learner characteristics, and learner performance data, - Methods for representing tutoring and student modelling knowledge in the tutoring system, - Existing systems for language learning. The approach to developing intelligent tutoring systems that integrates natural language processing in a multimedia environment is new. This book presents readers with the state of the art in the field in a single volume, with contributors from computer science, linguistics, and psychology.
