Abstract (english): This paper focuses on the definition, operationalization and empirical investigation of adaptivity in the context of language training. We discuss a study that aimed at answering the question whether kindergarten teachers adapt their language to the specific needs of children with German as a second language in language training situations. Specifically, we investigated whether teachers use subordinate clauses and specific language training techniques to present or elicit subordinate clauses more frequently when working with children who had not yet acquired subordinate clauses than teachers supporting children who already had. Fifteen teachers were videotaped during language support sessions. Ten children who were supported during these sessions had not yet acquired subordinate clauses (n = 18), the other five teachers supported children with no additional needs in this area (n = 7). The teachers' language was analysed both quantitatively and qualitatively in terms of the frequency of use of different subordinate clauses (e. g. position of the verb, subordinating conjunctions, different types of clauses) and the use of language support techniques (e. g. corrective feedback, expansions, questions) that aimed at presenting or eliciting subordinate clauses. A comparison of the two groups showed no differences in the teachers' language depending on whether they supported children with or without additional needs regarding subordinate clauses. Therefore, the teachers' language cannot be considered to be adaptive. (DIPF/Orig.)

Abstract: Advances in computer technology and artificial intelligence create opportunities for developing adaptive language learning technologies which are sensitive to individual learner characteristics. This paper focuses on one form of adaptivity in which the difficulty of learning content is dynamically adjusted to the learner's evolving language ability. A pilot study is presented which aims to advance the (semi-)automatic difficulty scoring of grammar exercise items to be used in dynamic difficulty adaptation in an intelligent language tutoring system for practicing English tenses. In it, methods from item response theory and machine learning are combined with linguistic item analysis in order to calibrate the difficulty of an initial exercise pool of cued gap-filling items (CGFIs) and isolate CGFI features predictive of item difficulty. Multiple item features at the gap, context and CGFI levels are tested and relevant predictors are identified at all three levels. Our pilot regression models reach encouraging prediction accuracy levels which could, pending additional validation, enable the dynamic selection of newly generated items ranging from moderately easy to moderately difficult. The paper highlights further applications of the proposed methodology in the area of adapting language tutoring, item design and second language acquisition, and sketches out issues for future research.

Abstract: In this paper, we analyse the differences between L1 acquisition and L2 learning and identify four main aspects: input quality and quantity, mapping processes, cross-lingual influence, and reading experience. As a consequence of these differences, we conclude that L1 readability measures cannot be directly mapped to L2 readability. We propose to calculate L2 readability for various dimensions and for smaller units. It is particularly important to account for the cross-lingual influence from the learner's L1 and other previously acquired languages and for the learner's higher experience in reading.In our analysis, we focus on lexical readability as it has been found to be the most influential dimension for L2 reading comprehension. We discuss the features frequency, lexical variation, concreteness, polysemy, and context specificity and analyse their impact on L2 readability. As a new feature specific to L2 readability, we propose the cognateness of words with words in languages the learner already knows. A pilot study confirms our assumption that learners can deduce the meaning of new words by their cognateness to other languages. (DIPF/Orig.)
