Nesbit, John C.; Nakayama, Kazuhiko – CALICO Journal, 1990
A sequence comparison procedure, referred to as the edit distance procedure, has been shown to be particularly accurate for recognizing misspelled responses in second-language computer-assisted instruction. Experience with real dictation responses indicates that this technique reliably obtains markups that appear natural for users. (Author/VWL)

Wachowicz, Krystyna A.; Scott, Brian – CALICO Journal, 1999
Reviews speech-interactive learning activities in selected commercial products: activities for vocabulary development, conversational practice, and pronunciation. Suggests the effectiveness of speech-interactive computer-assisted language learning is determined less by capabilities of the speech recognizer than by (a) design of language-learning…

LaRocca, Stephen A.; Morgan, John J.; Bellinger, Sherri M. – CALICO Journal, 1999
Proposes that automatic speech recognition (ASR) can effectively increase students' learning twofold over conventional self-study materials. Past and current efforts at the U.S. Military Academy are described that are aimed at integrating advanced ASR into courseware-authoring systems. (Author/VWL)

Holland, V. Melissa; Kaplan, Jonathan D.; Sabol, Mark A. – CALICO Journal, 1999
Describes a speech-interactive graphics microworld in which learners speak problem-solving directions to an animated agent and in which new scenarios can be authored. A proof-of-concept application is illustrated for sustaining basic speaking skill in Modern Standard Arabic. (Author/VWL)

Bernstein, Jared; Najmi, Amir; Ehsani, Farzad – CALICO Journal, 1999
Describes Subarashii, an experimental computer-based interactive spoken-language education system designed to understand what a student is saying in Japanese and respond in a meaningful way in spoken Japanese. Implementation of a preprototype version of the Subarashii system identified strengths and limitations of continuous speech recognition…

Rypa, Marikka Elizabeth; Price, Patti – CALICO Journal, 1999
Describes the Voice Interactive Training System (VILTS), a language-training prototype developed to help improve comprehension and speaking skills. The system incorporates two related technologies: speech recognition and pronunciation scoring. Discusses the motivation for the program, the interdisciplinary efforts involved, and the resulting…

Dalby, Jonathan; Kewley-Port, Diane – CALICO Journal, 1999
Describes a system, provisionally named Pronto, that uses automatic speech recognition for training pronunciation of second languages in adult learners. Methods are included for developing training in Pronto, and results are presented from evaluating classes of speech recognizers for use in different aspects of pronunciation training. (Author/VWL)

Eskenazi, Maxine – CALICO Journal, 1999
Looks at how speech-interactive computer-assisted language learning can help the classroom teacher carry out recommendations from immersion-based approaches to language instruction. Emerging methods for pronunciation tutoring are demonstrated from Carnegie Mellon University's FLUENCY project, addressing not only phone articulation but also speech…

Fischer, Robert – CALICO Journal, 1999
Successful foreign-language departments are multifaceted departments in which technology figures as a prominent facet. Computer-assisted language-learning (CALL) development projects take place in a multidisciplinary context in which a large number of disciplines can be conceivably represented. CALL research and development should be valued and…

Rowe, A. Allen – CALICO Journal, 1997
Two fictitious interviews are presented, one describing the second-language learning experience as a desert across which one has to pass to attain an elusive language proficiency, and the other considering, in tongue-in-cheek style, the role of technology in second-language teaching and learning.

Dodigovic, Marina – CALICO Journal, 1998
In most computer-assisted-language-learning (CALL) projects, research forms an important part of the development process. However, this research frequently goes unnoticed by the academic community, and developers often fail to receive academic recognition for the research component imbedded in their development projects.(Author/ER)

Wang, Yuping; Sun, Chengzheng – CALICO Journal, 2001
Through examination of the development of distance education for foreign languages, puts forth a theory on the emergence of a fourth generation of distance language education, challenging the generally accepted three-generation theory. Argues that with the use of Internet-based real time technology, distance language learning becomes synchronous…
