First CFP for the CALICO'09 Pre-Conference Workshop on
Automatic Analysis of Learner Language (AALL'09): From a better understanding of annotation needs to the development and standardization of annotation schemes
March 10 or 11, 2008. Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ.
Submission Deadline: December 1, 2008
In this workshop, we want to bring together researchers working on the analysis of learner language in the broad sense, including work on annotation schemes for learner corpora and NLP techniques used to detect learner errors and other learner language properties. We invite abstracts addressing these general issues, including but not limited to:
obtain for Foreign Language Teaching and current Second Language Acquisition research?
and how do different annotation schemes compare?
be obtained automatically given the current state-of-the art in NLP?
on the (re)use of NLP technology? How does it impact performance and the potential use of such technology in foreign language teaching tools?
be used to evaluate the performance of different approaches to analyzing learner language?
The workshop is intended to follow up on the pre-conference workshop on the Automatic Analysis of Learner Language held at CALICO 2008 (http://purl.org/net/calico-workshop).
We invite submissions of anonymous two page abstracts in an email with the abstract as a pdf attachment. Name, affiliation, and email address should only be included in the text of the email, not in the abstract in the pdf attachment.
Send submissions to: calico-workshop@ling.osu.edu Submission Deadline: December 1 Please use the following Subject: Submission to AALL '09
The workshop is organized by the ICALL Special Interest Group of CALICO (http://purl.org/calico/icall), currently chaired by Xiaofei Lu (Pennsylvania State University) and Detmar Meurers (Universität Tübingen).
