Zusammenfassung
Modern language learning courses are no longer exclusively based on books or face-to-face lectures. More and more lessons make use
of multimedia and personalized learning methods. Many of these are based on e-learning solutions. Learning via the Internet provides
7/24 services that require sizeable human resources. Therefore we witness a growing economic pressure to employ computer-assisted
methods for improving language learning in quality, efficiency and scalability. In this paper, we will address three applications of
language technologies for language learning: 1) Methods and strategies for pronunciation training in second language learning, e.g.,
multimodal feedback via visualization of sound features, speech verification and prosody transplantation; 2) Dialogue-based language
learning games; 3) Application of parsing and generation technologies to the automatic generation of paraphrases for the semi-automatic
production of learning material.
