Abstract

Technology-enhanced language learning enables activities to be adapted to several factors including technological constraints and students’ special needs. To train language teachers to design goal-based learning activities that satisfy diverse student needs, learning platform features and device constraints we designed an ontology-based simulator. The tool generates usage scenarios that trainee teachers have to solve, moreover it provides recommendations about the most suited instructional design solutions given multiple constraints. In this paper we present the approach and we describe the exploratory evaluation we performed on a demonstrator. Results confirm the validity of the approach and the ability of the tool to generate realistic scenarios
