Models and Metamodels for Computer-Assisted Natural Language Grammar Learning

چکیده
The paper follows a discourse on computer-assisted language learning. We examine problems of foreign language teaching and learning and introduce a metamodel that can be used to define learning models of language grammar structures in order to support teacher/student interaction. Special attention is paid to the concept of a virtual language lab. Our approach to language education assumes to encourage learners to experiment with a language and to learn by discovering patterns of grammatically correct structures created and managed by a language expert. Keywords—Computer-assisted instruction, Language learning, Natural language grammar models, HCI.
