Dash, Niladri Sekhar – Indian Journal of Applied Linguistics, 2011
In this paper we argue in favour of teaching English as a second language to the Bengali learners with direct utilisation of English corpora. The proposed strategy is meant to be assisted with computer and is based on data, information, and examples retrieved from the present-day English corpora developed with various text samples composed by…

Amaral, Luiz A.; Meurers, W. Detmar – CALICO Journal, 2009
Error diagnosis in ICALL typically analyzes learner input in an attempt to abstract and identify indicators of the learner's (mis)conceptions of linguistic properties. For written input, this process usually starts with the identification of tokens that will serve as the atomic building blocks of the analysis. In this paper, we discuss the…

Marsden, Emma; Graham, Suzanne – Language Teaching, 2009
Using the British "Index to Theses", we found forty-seven Ph.D.s relating to second and foreign language learning and/or teaching defended in English universities in 2006. Objective criteria led us to fourteen theses which had investigated both teaching and learning. Over half of these adopted a process-product research design with the…

Tschichold, Cornelia – CALICO Journal, 2003
To overcome obstacles in error detection needed for intelligent feedback in computer assisted language learning (CALL), calls for a new focus on lexical items, both single words and multiword units of various types. Suggests single and multiword lexemes should not only be explicitly taught in CALL but could also provide the key to more effective…

Schulze, Mathias – CALICO Journal, 2003
Discusses selected theoretical aspects of providing error feedback for language learners. Theoretical considerations concerning the dialog with the learner about linguistic errors are discussed, and some conclusions for computer assisted language learning (CALL) system design are drawn.

Nesbit, John C.; Nakayama, Kazuhiko – CALICO Journal, 1990
A sequence comparison procedure, referred to as the edit distance procedure, has been shown to be particularly accurate for recognizing misspelled responses in second-language computer-assisted instruction. Experience with real dictation responses indicates that this technique reliably obtains markups that appear natural for users. (Author/VWL)

Cowan, Ron; Choi, Hyun Eun; Kim, Doe Hyung – CALICO Journal, 2003
Poses four important questions relevant to error diagnosis and correction in computer assisted language learning (CALL). These questions relate to the diagnosis of persistent second language (L2) learner grammar errors, whether these can be corrected, what types of feedback from the computer are most efficient for focusing the students' attention…

Ryan-Thompson, Lin A. – Teaching English in the Two-Year College, 2005
Grading essays and research papers can be the most trying part of any writing instructor's job. Fitting corrections, suggestions, and notes between double-spaced lines of text and into margins often creates a legibility problem, which only worsens when grading stacks of papers to meet deadlines. This essay describes electronic grading, a method…

Delmonte, Rodolfo – CALICO Journal, 2003
Presents four sets of natural language processing-based exercises for which error correction and feedback are produced by means of a rich database in which linguistic information is encoded either at the lexical or the grammatical level. (Author/VWL)

Heift, Trude – CALICO Journal, 2003
Describes a web-based intelligent computer assisted language learning (ICALL) system for German that provides error-specific feedback suited to learner expertise. Focuses on the Domain Knowledge and Filtering Module. Concludes with a study that supports the need for a CALL system that addresses multiple errors by considering language teaching…

Larsen, Mark D. – Hispania, 2001
Although most teachers use word processors and electronic mail on a daily basis, they still depend on paper and pencil for correcting their students' compositions. This article suggests some tools and techniques for submitting, editing, and returning written work electronically. (BD) (Author/VWL)

Yang, Jie Chi; Akahori, Kanji – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 1999
Compares two Web-based systems. The Japanese writing computer-assisted language-learning system, the T system, enables learners to key-in sentences freely, detects learners' errors and displays appropriate feedback messages to guide learners to correct errors themselves. The M system enables learners to input their answer from a multiple selection…

Schmitt, Lothar M.; Christianson, Kiel T. – System, 1998
Describes the justification for design and implementation of a UNIX-based computer-assisted language-instruction system using a network of workstations containing functions useful for instructors and students as well as researchers. The present investigation is aimed at teaching writing to Japanese students at the University of Aizu in Japan.…

Eskenazi, Maxine – CALICO Journal, 1999
Looks at how speech-interactive computer-assisted language learning can help the classroom teacher carry out recommendations from immersion-based approaches to language instruction. Emerging methods for pronunciation tutoring are demonstrated from Carnegie Mellon University's FLUENCY project, addressing not only phone articulation but also speech…
