Interactive Fiction for language education

I am about to write a paper on the subject of IF for language learning.
More specifically, I will concentrate on text adventure for learning
English. I have a few thread ends to start nesting at, but would like
some more. Thus, I throw out the following items for your consideration:

- If you have ever used IF in teaching language, or know anyone who has,
please let me know!

- Likewise for articles on the subject, games that have been designed
specifically for this purpose and other games that have been used as
such.

- What are your own thoughts on the subject? Is this a proper use for
IF? Why or why not? All kinds of feedback welcome, and I promise to take
active part in any forthcoming discussion.
