This pape~ describes an "intelligent" tutor of foreign language concepts and skills based upon state-of-the-art research in Intelligent reaching Systems and Computational Linguistics. The tutor is part of a large R&D project in ITS which resulted in a system (called DART~ for the design and development of intelligent teaching dialogues on PLATO I and in a program (called ELISA~ for teaching foreign language conjunctions in context. ELISA was able to teach a few conjunctions in English, Dutch and Italian. The research reported here extends ELISA to a complete set of conjunctions in Italian and French. . | LEARNING TRANSLATION SKILLS WITH A KNOWLEDGE-BASED TUTOR FRENCH-ITALIAN CONJUNCTIONS IN CONTEXT Stefano A.

INTRODUCTION In the framework of a large research and development project - called DART - concerned with the construction of an environment for the design of large scale Intelligent Teaching Systems ITS a prototype ITS - called ELISA - was developed which teaches words conjunctions of a foreign language in context Cerri Breuker 1980 1981 Breuker Cerri 1982 . The DART system is an authoring environment based on the formalism of ATNs for the representation of the procedural part of the teaching dialogue and on Semantic Networks for the representation of the conceptual and linguistic structures. The main achievement of DART was the integration of traditional Computer Assisted Learning CAL facilities - such as the ones available in the PLATO system -in an Artificial Intelligence framework thus offer- The DART system on PLATO is the result of a joint effort of the University of Pisa I and the University of Amsterdam NL and its property rights are reserved. It can be distributed for experimentation and research. This work was partially financed by a grant of the GRIS group of the Italian National .
