Artificial Intelligence and Computer-Assisted Language Instruction: A Perspective
نویسنده
چکیده
The article attempts to outline the major components of CALI-AI (computer-assisted language instruction incorporating artificial intelligence techniques). The article begins by discussing briefly the central assumption on which CALI-AI work is based, that is, that human cognitive abilities can be reproduced by mechanical means. It then proceeds to examine the following components of CALI-AI: (1) natural language processing, problem solving, (3) language learning, and (4) modeling teacher behavior. The article concludes with a discussion of the ways in which language teachers can participate in the development of the field.

متن کاملComputational Morphology and the Teaching of Indigenous Languages
Computer-assisted language learning is by now so common around the world as to be something of a default, and the teaching of the indigenous languages of the Americas is already benefiting from the new technology. Intelligent computer-assisted language learning relies on software that has relatively sophisticated models of the target language and/or the learner. An example is the use of a progr...

Learning styles are considered among the significant factors that aid instructors in deciding how well their students learn a second or foreign language (Oxford, 2003). Although this issue has been accepted broadly in educational psychology,further research is required to examine the relationship between learning styles and language learning skills. Thus, the present study was carried out to in...
