Serge Bibauw

Researcher in Language Learning and Technology

UCLouvain

I am an Assistant Professor of French Language Teaching at UCLouvain, in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium. I am affiliated with the Institute for the Analysis of Change in Contemporary and Historical Societies (IACCHOS) and the Centre de recherche interdisciplinaire sur les pratiques enseignantes et les disciplines scolaires (Cripedis).

I work on dialogue-based CALL, more precisely on task-oriented dialogue systems (chatbots) for language learning, at the intersection of computer-assisted language learning (CALL) and natural language processing (NLP). My research focuses on the instructional design and the evaluation of the effectiveness of dialogue-based CALL systems for L2 proficiency development, particularly L2 fluency.
