Description
Summary:This paper reports on the error identification component of POPSICLE, a computer-aided language learning software that has been designed to help Filipino language speakers learn standard English. The software assesses the English grammar proficiency of the learner based on an input document, identifies the grammatical errors committed in the document, and generates grammar lessons that are tailor fit to the individual needs of the learner. The learner is given opportunities to correct and learn from his mistakes. The software maintains a user model that tracks an individual learner's English grammar proficiency, his position and path toward acquiring English, the dialogue history containing the text generated by the system during the current tutorial session, the evaluation scores for each of the teaching strategies employed, and a concise log of explanations attempted by the system over the learning period of the current user.
