A good source of information about computer-aided language learning is CALICO,
the Computer Assisted Language Learning and Instruction Consortium. CALICO is
a consortium of academic, business, research, manufacturing and government
members involved in the field of computer-assisted language instruction.
Special interest groups are maintained in the following fields: Artificial
Intelligence, Computers in the Classroom, Foreign Character Fonts/Asian
Languages, CD-ROM, Courseware Development, and Interactive Audio/Video.
Members include 216 companies and 730 individuals. They host an annual
conference in the spring each year and publish the CALICO journal, a refereed
quarterly professional journal. The contact information is:

Another source of information is the Consortium for Language Teaching and
Learning which is a consortium of 11 East Coast schools (Brown, Cornell,
Dartmouth, Yale, U of Chicago, Princeton, MIT, Harvard, Stanford, Columbia,
Penn) involved in the study and development of foreign language software. They
have several innovative projects underway.

Finally, there is a large multimedia language learning project taking place at
MIT. They are working with interactive video and creating simulations for
language learning. They recently decided to publish their development software
called "Toolkit" so that others could create their own simulations. The
