An important concern in web based educational environment is the task of designing and preparing learner assessment, which would enhance the learning process. Currently the majority of Computer Assisted Assessment tools provide an assessment of the learners, without an analysis of the adaptive content presentation. In this paper we propose a logicbased formalism to characterize adaptive content...

Generating text in a hypermedia environment places different demands on a text generation system than occurs in non-interactive environments. This paper describes some of these demands, then shows how the architecture of one text generation system, ILEX, has been shaped by them. The architecture is described in terms of the levels of linguistic representation used, and the processes which map b...

Recent years have shown an explosion of interest in using computers for language teaching and learning. A decade ago, the use of computers in the language classroom was of concern only to a small number of specialists. However, with the advent of multimedia computing and the Internet, the role of computers in language instruction has now become an important issue confronting large numbers of la...

This article presents the attitude of ESP learners towards the role of Self-Access Language Learning Centres in improving their reading comprehension. It provides an evaluation of the success of these contents as well as an interpretation of students’ understanding of the related concepts. Finally it identifies factors that enhance or hinder the successful implementation of Self-Access Language...

this study aimed to develop and validate an instrument to evaluate english language teachers’ lesson plan- ning self-concept. to this end, 30 english teachers were asked to prepare a sample lesson plan and 15 of them were invited to participate in a semi-structured interview. a tentative questionnaire including six fac- tors namely: classroom management, lesson planning conformity, planning eff...

In communication learning by second language, three abilities have to be improved; listening, speaking and writing abilities. In this sense, it is important to evaluate user’s pronunciation ability and to detect mispronunciations in English CALL (Computer-Assisted Language Learning) systems. In this paper, we propose three functions (segmentation, phrasing and pronunciation evaluation) in the C...

Computer-assisted language learning (CALL) is a research area that has received great interest recently. In order to move from the traditional behavioristic language learning model towards a communicative and integrative one, the incorporation of multimodal communication and adaptivity in CALL systems is discussed. Furthermore, an online deployment platform is suggested to further enhance CALL ...

In this paper we reflect the need for modelling in a systematic production of adaptive hypermedia applications. Proposed approach is based on the Unified Modelling Language (UML). State diagrams are used to model possible paths through hypertext. The user model expressed by a class diagram determines structural and behavioural features, which are used for specification of adaptations in states ...
