The aim of this workshop is to provide a forum where international participants can share knowledge on the computer-assisted language learning. We solicit submissions of research studies on all topics related to NLP techniques for educational applications in terms of both full papers and short papers for either oral or poster presentation. We will give special attention to research that has taken computer-assisted Asian language learning into consideration. Besides, one of our key goals of this workshop is to foster collaboration between researchers and developers from computational linguistics and computer education areas. Original studies reporting joint work are therefore especially encouraged.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
l Assessment of learners’ language proficiency
l Automated essay scoring
l Content analysis for assessment
l Discourse and stylistic analysis
l Educational data mining
l Error tagging editor
l Grammatical error detection and correction
l Learner corpus development and evaluation
l Native language identification
l NLP tools for language learning
l Plagiarism detection
l Second language acquisition
l Sentence judgment system
l Spelling error check
l Structural analysis of argumentation
l Tools and applications for teachers, courseware, tests, and students
