Abstract-We present a new paradigm for Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL). This paradigm aims at the development of linguistically and pedagogically competent Web-browsers for autonomous exploration of a second language (L2). We introduce Gymn@zilla, a browser-like application which converts Web-pages automatically into language lessons. Gymn@zilla combines annotated reading of Web-pages with exploration tools and the possibility to create personal wordlists and practice them in dynamically created exercises. The relevance and potentials of theses components for the acquisition of a second language are discussed. Possible usage scenarios range from individual language learning over school and university classes to daily working scenarios in non-native speaking environments.

BISTRO is an online platform which supports the translation process in various phases. The phases which can be distinguished are the terminologi-cal preparation of the source text, the creation of terminological glossaries and the retrieval of related documents and their terminological elaboration. For this purpose BISTRO hyperlinks a terminology database with bilingual and trilingual corpora. Term tools such as term extraction (TE), term recognition (TR) and keyword-in-context (KWIC) may be applied to the query results, which consist of retrieved terms or corpus segments. BISTRO ’s architecture is open for new tools and contents, providing at the same time the interface for the management of the underlying data structure and the constant update of the terminological data.

Variablen multilingualer Kommunikation an der Benutzerschnittstelle1 Einleitung Der Fachbereich "Sprache & Recht" der Europäischen Akademie Bozen hat für die beiden Datenbanken von ELDIT und BISTRO zwei verschiedene italienisch-deutsche Internetschnittstellen entwickelt. Obwohl es bedeutende Gemeinsamkeiten gibt, sind Aussehen und Funktion völlig unterschiedlich. In diesem Beitrag werden beide Systeme kurz vorgestellt, die Funktionalitäten verglichen und die zugrunde liegenden Variablen und Parameter diskutiert.
