The aim of this paper is to present linguists--both members of research teams and language teachers--with some possible applications of computing science to language teaching. First, it is possible to use a computer's output system merely in order to print any type of information, e.g., a list of students' names and their marks. The computer also…

Optimization procedures for a computer-assisted instruction (CAI) system were developed using iterative development and tests of a series of instructional decision models (IDM). The result was a total systems effort in which the instruction was carried on by a dialogue between a computerized tutor and the student. A profile of the student, student…
