Artificial Intelligence in Second Language Learning by Marina Dodigovic
This volume argues that adults can learn English as a second language if their typical errors are corrected systematically and in line with their preferred style of learning. The remedy designed for this purpose relies on artificial intelligence. The book describes original research which demonstrates the success of this approach.

"The book treats a fascinating topic in a unique manner in the way it combines all the fields related to Computer Assisted Language LearningIt will be a valuable contribution to the field."
-- Dr Christine Appel, Lecturer, Dublin City University, IrelandThe most praise-worthy aspect of Dodigovic’s book is that it provides a comprehensive overview of theoretical issues and concepts of the interface of artificial intelligence and second language learning. It is noteworthy that this is the first comprehensive, single-authored book in the cross-disciplinary field of NLP and CALL. Dodigovic not only covers a vast amount of related and relevant research, but also provides her own studies on which she bases her analysis and the development and particular design of the artificially intelligent system that is being introduced in this book. This volume is certainly a must-read for anyone interested in cross-disciplinary research of language learning and artificial intelligence.
-- Trude Heift, Simon Fraser University * ReCALL, Volume 18/2, 2006 *The book is a very comprehensive, detailed and interdisciplinary account of the Research and Development process of a successful example of Intelligent CALL software. The field of CALL can benefit to a great extent from sound research-based and pedagogically-driven projects such as the one described here. Books such as this will no doubt help us ascertain which areas of language learning are most successfully dealt with by the use of CALL technologies.
