Integrating an Intelligent Language Tutoring System in Teaching English Grammar

Abstract

This paper describes a research project using an intelligent language tutoring system model in teaching grammar in English. The study aims to investigate the perceptions of a group of students regarding the effectiveness of this system and its service quality. This investigation is significant since it gives further insights into how Intelligent Language Tutoring Systems can help students learn grammar in a personalized manner based on their levels. Research has revealed that classroom teaching may fall short in providing customized instruction and feedback. Therefore, intelligent language tutoring systems can support adaptivity to individual learner needs. In order to assess the effectiveness of this system, the participants answered a survey questionnaire at the end of this study. The research project involves a class of adult mixed-ability students in a continuing education program at the National School of Applied Sciences in Fes, Morocco. The results demonstrate that these students have a positive attitude toward the merits of such technological tools. These advantages are mainly related to enhancing learner achievement and motivation. Based on these findings, some implications for both teaching and learning grammar can be drawn.
