Title: Automatic Analysis of Learner Language (LL) †

What's New? †

• The mailing list (closed) for this class has been set up.
  • ML address: tono-aall@googlegroups.com
  • ML website: http://groups.google.co.jp/group/tono-aall/
    • You can have discussion there if you like.

Aims †

• Review the cutting-edge research into an automatic analysis of learner language “Automatic”: natural language processing techniques applied for learner language analysis
• Papers based on the resources presented at the preconference workshop at CALICO 2008 with the same title as above:
  • https://calico.org/p-378-Program.html
• Only PPT slides are available, so understanding the slides may not be so easy, but we can try.
• The major purpose is to get to know how learner text is analyzed and how much automatization can be possible. Let's evaluate the method critically

Activities †

• Find a partner.

• Choose one paper with PPT (no poster, please).

• Look at the PPT file and figure out the meaning:
  • If there is any important reference, read it.
  • If there is any technical information you need, list it.
  • Make your own comments and implications for SLA and ELT.

• Present your report with your partner using PPT.

• Discuss the paper with your classmate.
