Conceptualizing Student Models for ICALL

Student models for Intelligent Computer Assisted Language Learning (ICALL) have largely focused on the acquisition of grammatical structures. In this paper, we motivate a broader perspective of student models for ICALL that incorporates insights from current research on second language acquisition and language testing. We argue for a stu- dent model that includes a representation of the learner's ability to use language to perform tasks as well as an explicit activity model that pro- vides information on the language tasks and the inferences for the student model they support.
