It was hard to believe when I found out that humans are able to talk to a computer online. It happened once in my pre-sessional English course in the University of Manchester. Having a chat with my tutor, he showed me the better way in learning with a computer. He explicated a specific point of CALL (Computer Assisted Language Learning) such as video centric avatar that can be used as our speaking partners.

By using keyword of video centric avatar, I find Alice1, Alice2, Cleverbot, Jabberwacky, Captain Kirk, Joan and Evi. They can be our online sitepal avatar for 24/7. Interestingly, they relentlessly speak English with us anytime as long as we have internet connection.
