This special issue of the Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education is based on the workshop SCIAL'93 (Cognitive Science, Computer Science and Language Learning) held in October 1993 in Clermont-Ferrand, France (Chanier, Renié & Fouqueré, 1993). The workshop gathered researchers who consider the development of interactive language learning environments as a field of multidisciplinary collaboration. Researchers belonged to several disciplines from the domain of cognitive science: linguistics (in its broad meaning, including theoretical and applied linguistics as well as language teaching), computational linguistics, computer science, psycholinguistics. The workshop was directed by Thierry Chanier, University of Clermont 2, France, who is also the editor of this special issue. New versions of selected papers focusing on Intelligent Computer Assisted Language Learning (ICALL) more specifically have been assembled here so as to introduce JAIED readers to the current research interests in ICALL. The workshop version of the papers had been selected by its multidisciplinary program committee, and then new versions have been reviewed in the normal JAIED manner.
