The article from International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education focuses on the hypothesis that an intelligent tutoring system that provides guidance with respect to students'meta-cognitive abilities can help them to become better learners.

I think the research design they follow is detailed, there is development of a model and then validation of it over time. I have checked one of the authors' recent publications and realized that he has researches on self-regulation during learning ,example-tracing tutors, interesting concepts to examine.

This article is from Journal of Educational Psychology describing an advanced learning technology used to investigate hypotheses about learning by teaching. The proposed technology is an instance of a teachable agent, called SimStudent, that learns skills (e.g., for solving linear equations) from examples and from feedback on performance. SimStudent has been integrated into an online, gamelike environment in which students act as "tutors" and can interactively teach SimStudent by providing it with examples and feedback.

Hi, Duolingo is a good example of a intelligent language tutoring system and it is worth to check it out.

Thank you Yasin. I tried it in Spanish and liked it a lot. I will try it with my studs and see if it works on them.

I also liked and tried this to learn French a bit. I might have annoyed some people home by trying to pronounce some words hundreds times :)
