Abstract

This paper describes an approach to build a communicative language-teaching model, in which we observe and control the system-learner interactions. The focus of this research is on a mechanism for modeling the knowledge state of the student so that the system is able to tailor its feedback to suit individual strengths and weaknesses. The primary contribution of this research is that the new teaching model can automatically support the learner´s communication gaps during learning and communication processes.
