Call for Papers: Automatic Analysis of Learner Language (AALL III): 'The fickle alignment of NLP and CALL' This workshop continues the tradition of Intelligent Computer Assisted Language Learning (ICALL) workshops that took place in 2006, 2008 and 2009. We want to bring together researchers and practitioners working in ICALL related projects that represent the current state of the art in the field. Our goal is to promote the exchange ideas and to provide opportunities to collaborative work and networking. We invite researchers to submit abstracts for 20-minute presentations followed by 10-minute discussion periods. Submissions of anonymous one-page abstracts should be sent by email with the abstract as a pdf attachment. Name, affiliation, and email address should only be included in the text of the email. We encourage submissions addressing these general issues, including but not limited to: The use of Natural Language Processing in CALL Innovative technologies and empirical studies on ICALL projects Automatic learner modeling Development of L2 corpora Automatic annotation of learner errors, and error taxonomies for ICALL ICALL in individualized and distance learning contexts Second language acquisition research and ICALL Foreign language teaching practice and ICALL Measures of language development As the subtitle of this workshop suggests (which we borrowed from Lars Borin's paper), it is a matter of debate what exactly the role of NLP should be in CALL. We also encourage submissions of proposals that concentrate on theoretical issues pertaining to the development of NLP to process language produced by non-native speakers. The workshop will consist of 10 - 12 paper presentations, a round table discussion and possibly a poster session. The deadline for submissions has been extended. New deadline: 15 February 2011 Please submit your proposals (300 words maximum and names of presenters on a separate page)to peter.woodusask.ca or to amaralspanport.umass.edu.
