Invoking and exploring HELP in a decoupled task discussion level environment for second language learning

Research into Intelligent Tutoring Systems has paid a great deal of attention to the performance of the student. The question of modelling the human instructor has been less studied, particularly in the ways in which the human instructor’s interventions relate to the implementation and provision of intelligent HELP. By decoupling the task and discussion levels, it is possible to investigate how the HELP system can emulate the human instructor in providing advice and “discussion” level direction without requiring an encyclopaedic knowledge of student-machine interactions at the task level.
