Technology-Enhanced Language Learning and Teaching

Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS)

ITS is a computer-based educational system that provides individualized instructions like a human tutor. Learners should show their advantages and disadvantages truthfully in ITS. Since the behavior of learners in ITS is recorded, ITS will decide what to teach and how to teach it according to the learning state of learners, in order to improve the learning effect.

Research has found that ITS may facilitate EFL learners’ acquisition of grammatical concepts. Research has also indicated that interactions with the ITS led to an increase in writing performance and more positive attitudes towards the system.
