Abstract
Many emerging technologies have appeared to offer promise for language learners. Interactive television, built on a familiar domestic technology, is attracting interest as a potential technology for language learners, particularly for non-traditional learners, in circumstances where other learning contexts and technologies are inaccessible. This paper explores the potential of iTV for supporting the four major aspects of language mastery, i.e. speaking, oral comprehension, reading and writing. All four types of language skills suggest interactive support services, though initially at least, listening skills will be easiest to support. Possible approaches to individualised language learning delivered via iTV are then described via a scenario. This suggests that however individualised iTV-based language learning is implemented, it will need to be carefully designed to integrate with the learner's day to day life.
