The Use of Natural Language Processing in Computer-Assisted Language Instruction.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bailin, Alan; Thomson, Philip – Computers and the Humanities, 1988
Describes the natural language processing techniques used in two computer-assisted language instruction programs: VERBCON and PARSER. Contends that only by incorporating natural language processing techniques can these programs offer a substantial number of exercises and at the same time provide students with informative feedback.

A Model for Intelligent Computer Assisted Language Instruction (MICALI).
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Farghaly, Ali – Computers and the Humanities, 1989
States that Computer Assisted Language Instruction (CALI) software should be developed as an interactive natural language processing system. Describes artificial intelligence and proposes a model for intelligent CALI software (MICALI). Discusses MICALI's potential and current limitations due to the present state of the art. (Author/LS)
