I-FLEG

Within the Allegro project, we developed the I-FLEG game [16] , [15] , a virtual world in which the learner exercises French by clicking on objects and answering the questions raised by the system. The language learning exercises produced by I-FLEG are automatically generated using the GenI sentence generator from a knowledge base describing the virtual world. A preliminary evaluation of I-FLEG with school children [17] suggests that the “game” aspect increases learner motivation and that spoken output is essential in maintaining learner interest.
