This volume argues that adults can learn English as a second language if their typical errors are corrected systematically and in line with their preferred style of learning. The remedy designed for this purpose relies on artificial intelligence. The book describes original research which demonstrates the success of this approach.
"The book treats a fascinating topic in a unique manner in the way it combines all the fields related to Computer Assisted Language Learning. It will be a valuable contribution to the field."
