Conversational Simulation in Computer-Assisted Language Learning: Potential and Reality.
Coleman, D. Wells
Simulation/Games for Learning, v18 n1 p77-87 Mar 1988
Addresses the potential of conversational simulations for computer-assisted language learning (CALL) and reasons why this potential is largely untapped. Topics discussed include artificial intelligence; microworlds; parsing; realism versus reality in computer software; intelligent tutoring systems; and criteria to clarify what kinds of CALL software should be called simulations.
