Since the late nineties, several Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) platforms have been developed. By using Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, CALL has become Intelligent CALL (ICALL). Our research additionally deals with language learning integrated in different environments, be it Web browsers or Email clients. Therefore, we develop a Web-based e-learning solution, called Intelligent Integrated Computer-Assisted Language Learning (iiCALL) platform. Requirements engineering for iiCALL has primarily been done on the basis of identifying suitable use cases with respect to different learning types. Moreover, we face varying levels of learners. The paper illustrates relevant use cases and describes the yielding Web-based and distributed system architecture of iiCALL. Furthermore, it draws specific attention to a first prototype integrated into Mozilla Firefox that implements a simple learning scenario for language learners on a beginner's level. Finally, it points out open issues and future work. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.
