Title: Conference: Interfaces of Intelligent Computer-Assisted Language Learning
Body: From http://www.wcgs.ca/icall/main.php Interfaces of Intelligent Computer-Assisted Language Learning University of Waterloo, 7-8 December 2007 Research in Intelligent Computer-Aided Language Learning (ICALL) integrates natural language processing into a computer-assisted language learning environment. For such research to be innovative, successful and sustainable, it arguably needs to combine linguistic modeling, second language acquisition research and insights from foreign language didactics with representations and computational linguistic algorithms capable of integrating the information from these models. The current state of the art in the various relevant fields seems favorable for interdisciplinary ICALL research. Complementing the focus on communication and culture in foreign language teaching since the 1960s, second language acquisition research since the 1990s has clearly established that awareness of language constructions, forms and meanings, rules and principles can facilitate the successful acquisition of a foreign language. At the same time, most research groups currently lack the interdisciplinary orientation, background, or ties needed to develop and combine the linguistic and learner/cognitive modeling with computational processing, and to develop and test intelligent tutoring systems as part of real-life language teaching. The iicall2 conference is intended to foster exchange and in-depth discussion of these interfaces of ICALL. For more information, visit http://www.wcgs.ca/icall/main.php .
