Areas of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that are relevant to Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL), such as Natural Language Processing (NLP), Student Modeling and Intelligent Language Tutoring Systems have played a significant role in our thinking about CALL. Work at this intersection of AI and CALL has become known as Intelligent CALL (ICALL). ICALL aims at interactive computer systems possessing a high degree of artificial intelligence and capable of processing natural language input.This book provides the first comprehensive overview of theoretical issues, historical developments and current trends in ICALL, assuming a basic familiarity with Second Language Acquisition (SLA) theory and teaching, CALL and linguistics. It is written for upper undergraduate and/or graduate students who study CALL, SLA, Language Pedagogy, Applied Linguistics, Computational Linguistics or Artificial Intelligence as well as researchers with a background in any of these fields.Heift, Trude is the author of 'Errors and Intelligence in Computer-assisted Lanaguage Learning Parsers and Pedagogues', published 2007 under ISBN 9780415361910 and ISBN 0415361915.
