In this paper, work on an intelligent learners utterance evaluation program is described. After a brief introduction to the basic multimedia learning program, the motivation for the development of an NLP package is given: learners are supposed to stick closer to the program and to spend more time and energy with it if they are given intelligent diagnosis of their errors. This has been achieved by combining linguistic analysis tools with a distance measure processing.
