CALL FOR PAPERS
Computer Assisted Learning of French
Guest editor: Michael Zock (LIMSI, CNRS)
(submission deadline: 10 March 98)
The international journal CALL will devote a special issue to the
research on computer assisted language learning of French. The goal
of this special issue is to offer an acurate description of what
has been achieved, both outside and inside France, and I invite you
to submit research contributions representing original, previously
unpublished work.
SCOPE
Papers are invited on any topic related to computer assisted language
learning of French. Though desirable, they do not need to report on
implemented work: new research ideas are of paramount importance in
this guest issue. Topics could include:
(I) The learning of low-level skills such as:
* grammar
* vocabulary
* spelling
* pronunciation
(ii) The learning of higher level skills:
* NL-generation or comprehension
* discourse planning
* composition (making an outline)
* abstract creation, r=E9sum=E9s
* Machine-aided translation
* cognitive issues
(iii) Development of computational tools:
* grammar environment
* writer's workbench
* spelling checkers
* coherence checkers
* On-line help to dictionaries
* Natural language interfaces
* Multimodal interfaces
* navigation aids
* hypertext tools
