Deadline Extension: May 25, 2015 paper submission deadline

Leipzig, Sept. 3: Satellite of SLaTE 2015: L1 Teaching, Learning and Technology

co-located with SLATE (Leipzig) and INTERSPEECH (Dresden)

https://sites.google.com/site/l1teachingandtechnology/

The aim of this 1-day SoS (Satellite of a Satellite) workshop is to bridge the gap between researchers in education and researchers in speech and text processing technology by organising a joint event where researchers from one workshop are able to visit the other workshop to get an idea of the respective positions on the state of the art on the topic of language and technology in education.

The SoS workshop intends to join researchers across countries on the topic of language teaching/learning. In contrast to SLaTE, papers submitted here do not have to employ any technology yet. We are looking for contributions from users that may not be aware of all the possibilities that the technologies have to offer to solve educational research problems. What these papers bring to the table are problem statements and data collections that the speech and text processing community may in turn not be aware of. Thus we are looking for symbioses between the two disciplines in research about learning/teaching language. It is important for both areas to get to know each other's research questions and potential application for technologies.

Key to this will be provided by the collocation of the event with SLaTE (focusing on technology for education) that allows you to meet people with similar interests, share your work and forge new interactions across disciplines. In doing so, we are looking for a broad range of contributions from didactics, psychology and pedagogy from researchers interested in bridging the current gap to automation. Demonstrations as well as samples of data collections and annotations are welcome.

In order to join the two communities of SLaTE (Spoken Language Technology for Education) and Education in discussions regarding the possibilities of applying this technology to educational questions and datasets, we invite SLaTE attendees to attend the discussions in our workshop and our attendees to attend talks on the first morning of SLaTE. We hope to thus foster new connections and gain access to innovative connections between technology and education.
