ABSTRACT
The goal of the FLUENT system is to provide authentic language
practice for language learners.In learning systems,
misunderstandings occur—they are the basis for teaching and
tutoring.There is the need, then, for error repair.This paper asks
the question:if there is a learner error, what is the appropriate
range of responses to resolve the misunderstanding?In starting to
build such a module,a number of disciplines come into
play:language teaching, intelligent tutoring systems, natural
language processing and computational linguistics.We will touch
on the difficulty in synthesizing each of these domains as we
begin to analyze the handling of errors in a language learning
environment.
