Galloway, David; Peterson-Bidoshi, Kristin – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2008
Most existing web-based language learning exercises may be termed "static" in that their content is fixed; the sentences exist in the form in which the developer wrote them, and the scope of the exercise and the variety of interactions can only be expanded by manually adding to the existing stock. One solution to this problem is an application…
