Intelligent Tutoring and User Modelling

Abstract:
In order to provide an individualized learning environment the CALL systems needs to be able to adapt the system to the learner. This is done on some general assumptions about language learners in general and also on specific information collected during the interaction of the learner with the system. A number of program modules are suggested to process the information from the learner, to draw conclusions from it and to adapt the system accordingly. A central aspect is the learner's model and the possibilities of adaptation.
