Recently research on developing spoken dialogue systems to provide conversational practice for a learner of a foreign language has been conducted. One of the most critical aspects of such a system is speech recognition errors, since they often take the dialogue thread down a wrong turn that is very confusing to the student and may be irrecoverable. In this paper a Learning Classifier System technique is presented to assist the process of selection from a list of N-best candidates based on a high-level description of the semantics of the preceding dialogue. A significant reduction in sentence error rate can be achieved from 29.2% to 23.6%.
