• Abstract: English has long been set as the universal language. Basically most, if not all countries in the world know how to speak English or at least try to use it in their everyday communications for the purpose of globalizing. This study is designed to help the students learn from one or all of the four most commonly used foreign languages in the field of Information Technology namely Korean, Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, and Spanish. Composed of a set of words, phrases, and sentences, the program is intended to quickly teach the students in the form of basic, intermediate, and advanced levels. This study has used the Agile model in system development. Functionality, reliability, usability, efficiency, and portability were also considered in determining the level of the acceptability of the system in terms of ISO 25010:2011. This interactive foreign language trainer is built to associate fun with learning, to remedy the lack of perseverance by some in learning a new language, and to make learning the users' favorite playtime activity. The study allows the user to interact with the program which provides support for their learning. Moreover, this study reveals that integrating feedback modalities in the training and assessment modules of the software strengthens and enhances the memory in learning the language.

  It is desirable for embodied agents to have the ability to leverage human language to gain explicit or implicit knowledge for learning tasks. It's not clear how to incorporate rich language use to facilitate task learning. This paper studies different types of language inputs in facilitating reinforcement learning.

  We apply this work to teaching two Indian languages, Kannada and Marathi, which do not have well-developed resources for second language learning. We extract descriptions from a natural text corpus that answer questions about morphosyntax (learning of word order, agreement, case marking, or word formation) and semantics (learning of vocabulary). We enlist the help of language educators from schools in North America to perform a manual evaluation, who find the materials have potential to be used for their lesson preparation and learner evaluation.

  To interact with humans and act in the world, agents need to understand the range of language that people use and relate it to the visual world. Our key idea is that agents should interpret such diverse language as a signal that helps them predict the future. We instantiate this in Dynalang, an agent that learns a multimodal world model to predict future text and image representations.

Our model learns to recognize individual languages, and transfer them so as to better recognize mixed-language speech by conditioning the optimization on the code-switching data.

  Language understanding research is held back by a failure to relate language to the physical world it describes and to the social interactions it facilitates. Despite the incredible effectiveness of language processing models to tackle tasks after being trained on text alone, successful linguistic communication relies on a shared experience of the world.
