This paper describes the Language Technology Project which is now four years old, at the University of Central Florida's Institute for Simulation and Training (IST). The goal of this project has been to develop, evaluate, and commercially produce language courseware and training techniques for personal computers (PCs), including MS DOS (IBM-compatible) and Macintosh PCs equipped with voice interfaces. The project uses hypermedia software shells augmented by specially developed software for authoring the courseware. Researchers in the project are developing applications for computer-based language training and translation. These applications include language education for public school and university students, the "Forms Translator Assistant," "Dispatch" for rapidly teaching survival Spanish to 911 dispatchers, and "Survival Somali" developed for the U.S. Marine Corps for use in Somalia. Survival Somali was developed in five weeks from the initial identification of its need to delivery to the Marine Corps and is more fully described in another paper in this Proceedings (Mullally, Kincaid and Kishek). The ability to respond this rapidly was the result of resources and expertise already in place.
