Recent & Upcoming Talks

Les avancées récentes des intelligences artificielles (IA) génératives ont donné lieu à de nombreuses discussions sur leur rôle en éducation (Romero et al, 2023), menaçant même pour certains le rôle de l’enseignant.

This breakout session provides a brief overview of scientific research into the use of conversational AI (such as ChatGPT) in language …

Abstract BACKGROUND. Interactivity has been defined in various ways: in instructed SLA, as distinguishing dialogic tasks from monologic ones (Ellis et al., 1994); in game design, as involving agency and user control.

Deze sessie biedt een beknopt overzicht van het wetenschappelijk onderzoek naar het gebruik van chatbots en generatieve taalmodellen (zoals ChatGPT) in het (taal)onderwijs. De sessie verloopt als volgt: Je krijgt een korte, technische introductie in dialoogsystemen.

Abstract The number of times a word appears in the input, i.e., the frequency of occurrence, is a well-known factor influencing incidental vocabulary acquisition (Webb, 2020). However, paradoxically, the frequency of occurrence has only a medium predicting power in vocabulary learning, around r = .

Las inteligencias artificiales conversacionales—es decir, los chatbots, los robots parlantes, los agentes conversacionales y los sistemas de diálogo—ofrecen una posibilidad prometedora para el aprendizaje de idiomas: un entorno de baja ansiedad para la práctica comunicativa e interactiva, que puede además controlarse en cuanto a complejidad y exposición específica, estrategias de andamiaje y retroalimentación correctiva.

Dialogue systems, such as chatbots and dialogue-based games, provide an opportunity for safe, meaningful conversational practice to …

Automatizing testing and computation of multiple variations (pruning, normalization…) of L2 utterance fluency metrics, we collected pre/post oral interview responses from N=215 learners of French, and compared each metric’s variation with external proficiency estimates, to determine which operationalizations best predict proficiency and detect very-short-term developmental changes in L2 fluency.

Les systèmes de dialogue pour l’apprentissage des langues regroupent différentes applications permettant à un apprenant de langue étrangère de converser, oralement ou par écrit, avec un interlocuteur automatisé (chatbot, robot, interface vocale, personnage non-joueur, etc.

Introduction Dialogue-based computer-assisted language learning (CALL) allows a learner to practice an L2 by discussing with a computer. By offering a fully controllable meaning-focused learning environment, it also allows investigating the effectiveness of different modalities of interaction (Bibauw et al, 2019).

Abstract (as submitted in February 2019) Dialogue-based computer-assisted language learning (CALL) allows a learner to practice an L2 by discussing with a computer. By offering a fully controllable meaning-focused learning environment, it also allows to conduct research on the effectiveness of different modalities of interaction.

Chatbots and conversational agents have recently seen major developments in many domains, including education. In foreign language learning, dialogue-based computer-assisted language learning (CALL) applications allow a learner to practice a foreign language by having a conversation with a computer, be it orally or in writing.

Dialogue-based computer-assisted language learning systems allow a learner to practice meaningfully an L2 with an automated agent, whether through an oral (spoken dialogue systems) or written interface (chatbots) (Bibauw, François, & Desmet, 2015).

Dialogue-based CALL systems allow a learner to practice meaningfully an L2 with an automated agent, through an oral (spoken dialogue …
