This course studies the design and implementation of CALL systems that use Language Technologies such as Speech Synthesis and Recognition, Machine Translation, and Information Retrieval. After a short history of CALL/LT, students will learn where language technologies (LT) can be used to aid in language learning. From there, the course will explore the specifics of designing software that must interface with a language technology, For each LT, we will explore: what information does the LT require, what type of output does the LT send to the CALL interface, what are the limits of the LT that the CALL designer must deal with, what are the real time constraints, what type of training does the LT require The goal of the course is to familiarize the student with : existing systems that use LT assessment of CALL/LT software the limitations imposed by the LT designing CALL/LT software Grading criteria: several short quizzes term project: production of a small CALL/LT system, verbal presentation and written documentation of design of the software
