-WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
-NLP-based applications have had a profound effect on education in the areas of
-assessment and instruction. Early applications focused on writing for automated
- essay scoring, short-answer response scoring in assessment and intelligent
-tutoring, and grammatical error detection for proofreading. More recently, NLP
-has been introduced into additional educational contexts, including automated
-scoring of speech and text-based curriculum development for reading support. In
- addition, the earlier applications for grammatical error detection have
-greatly improved. Not only has the field improved existing capabilities, but as
- a community we are generating innovative and creative ways to use NLP in
-applications for multiple skill sets, including writing, reading, and speaking.
-The need for, and the rapid development of, language-based capability
-development in the United States and other Anglophone countries are driven by
-increased requirements for state/national assessments and a growing population
-of English language learners. In the past five years, steady growth in the area
- of NLP-based applications for education has prompted an increased number of
-workshops which typically focus on one specific aspect of NLP-based educational
- applications. In this workshop, we solicit papers from all subfields.
-We intend to bring all subfields together to foster continued interaction and
-collaboration among researchers in both academic institutions and industry.
-This workshop (consistent with previous workshops at ACL 1997, NAACL/HLT 2003,
-and ACL 2005) will continue to expose the NLP research community to these
-technologies with the hope that they continue to identify novel opportunities
-for the use of NLP tools in educational applications.
-TOPICS OF INTEREST
-For this workshop, we invite submissions including, but not limited to:
-) Automated Scoring/Evaluation for Text and Speech
-   * Automated processing of spoken and written lecture materials across
-     genres, e.g., - Content-based analysis - Grammatical error detection -
-     Response-based discourse analysis - Stylistic analysis
-   * Knowledge representation in learning systems
-   * Machine translation for assessment, instruction, and curriculum development
-   * Plagiarism detection tools
-) Intelligent Tutoring
-   * Intelligent tutoring systems that incorporate state-of-the-art NLP methods
-     to evaluate response content, using either text- or speech-based analyses
-   * Dialogue systems in education
-   * Hypothesis formation and testing in automated tutoring systems
-   * Multi-modal communication between human learners and machines
-   * Automatically generating tutorial responses
-) Learner Cognition
-   * Automated assessment of students' language and cognitive skill levels
-   * Automated systems that detect and adapt to learners' cognitive or
-     emotional states
-   * Automatic generation of test questions
-   * Tools for learners with special needs
-) Corpora and annotation standards for building NLP educational tools
-) Use of Response Databases
-   * Data mining of student corpora for tool building
-   * Visualization of concepts in learning systems
-) Classroom Tools
-   * NLP tools for second language learners
-   * Semantic-based access to instructional materials
-   * Tools for teachers and test developers (such as tools that automatically
-     identify text on a given topic, or adapt a text to the grade level of the
-     student, or assist in text-based curriculum development)
-   * E-learning tools for personalized course content
-) Evaluation of NLP-based tools for education
-) Descriptions of Working Systems
-SUBMISSION INFORMATION
-Authors are invited to submit a full paper of up to 8 pages in electronic, PDF
-format (with up to 1 additional page for references). Previously published
-papers cannot be accepted. The submissions will be reviewed by the program
-committee.  As reviewing will be blind, please ensure that papers are
-anonymous.  Self-references that reveal the author's identity,
-e.g., "We previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...", should be avoided. Instead,
-use citations such as "Smith previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...".
-Please use the ACL style sheet for composing your paper:
