What is AI and Second Language Learning [AI & SSL]?

Second language learning refers to any natural language (e.g. English, Spanish, Hindi) that is learned by way of study.

Who might be interested?

Second language curriculum developers, materials developers, language schools, ITS creators, language teachers, commercial word processing developers, and language learners.

3. AI and CBI [Content Based Instruction] in Language Learning
