Abstract

This paper details the current status, the future plans, and the reasoning behind the MIT Athena Language Learning Project. The materials are meant to supplement regular class time and to be broad and rich in the area of linguistic resources. The lab itself is planned to accommodate the full range of peripherals including speech recognition devices, and interactive video devices.
