Abstract
We describe our research on building a free, evolutionary, Internet-based, agent-based, long-distance teaching environment for academic English. Web English teaching environments are few, and mostly they imply a fee. However, none of them considers the challenges the non-native English-speaking academic has to face. We describe some of the design and implementation aspects of the system prototype, focusing especially on the evolutionary, adaptive features, and only marginally on the pedagogical issues involved
