  • Abstract
    In our research we use state-of-the-art Web and human language technology to create a language learning experience which blends foreign language acquisition with the user´s everyday browsing activities. The language students can interact with their peers to foster social learning skills. The whole learning process is supported and supervised by a human instructor to offer encouragement and feedback to guarantee the right balance between autonomy and guidance.
