Abstract
This paper describes the Language Technology Project at the University of Central Florida. The goal of this project is to develop, evaluate, and commercially produce language courseware and training techniques for personal computers (PCs), including IBM and MacIntosh, equipped with voice interfaces. The primary emphasis of the Language Technology Project has been in the development of demonstration courseware. The second area is the evaluation of courseware, including research regarding effective computerized instructional strategies. Informal field-testing of one package in an Orange County (Florida) elementary school suggests that the style of instruction is readily compatible with students as young as the first grade. Several studies have also provided insight into instruction design.
