CALL for PARTICIPATION
The 11th ELSNET Summer School on Language and Speech Communication
Topic: Language and Speech Technology in Language Learning
Lille (France), Monday July 7 - Friday July 18, 2003
http://www.univ-lille3.fr/ESS2003
Organized by the University of Lille 3
For the 11th ELSNET Summer School we have chosen a topic of great
relevance to researchers and developers in Europe and in other
multilingual environments: the use of language and speech
technology in language learning, both of spoken and of written
language. The goal of this workshop is to get young researchers
on a track that will eventually contribute to an important
application area. The underlying vision (or dream) is The
automatic animated language tutor.
+ Audience and aims:
We see the school as mainly research and development oriented, and
hence the primary audience are researchers, developers and integrators
who will make our vision happen (rather than teachers who would use
it). Both technological and pedagogical aspects will be taken into
consideration
The aims are:
* to make the students familiar with the main principles and
problems of language learning/teaching
* to make them familiar with current best practice in computer
assisted language learning
* to make them familiar with the main challenges in computer
assisted language learning
Participants are expected to have a general computational background
and some familiarity with language or speech research and/or
processing. After completion of the summer school participants should
be able to function in teams aimed at designing or implementing tools,
environments or courses for Computer Assisted Language Learning
(abbreviated CALL).
All students attend the same full programme, except for the hands-on
sessions, where students can sign up for either NLP or Speech oriented
streams. In special student sessions students can present their own
work. The presentations will be published on the ELSNET website.
The working language of the Summer School will be English.
