Organized under the FP7 LTfLL Project (http://www.ltfll-project.org/)

September 14th 2010, Bucharest, ROMANIA

Aims: The purpose of this workshop is to focus on using language

technologies in support of learning and teaching - by trying to

identify what questions and problems are solved, but also to raise and

discuss how well the metrics and algorithms developed assist in the

provision of support and the construction of feedback for learning.

What are the most efficient ways? To what extent do they match

distances inferred by a teacher's assessments? The workshop addresses

the problem of how support can be provided and feedback be generated

in order to help students learn and teachers to assess their progress.

Several Natural Language Processing techniques like Latent Semantic

Analysis (LSA) or the use of semantic and pragmatic analysis of

conversations have been successfully deployed in various educational

applications to enrich learning and teaching with information

technology. However, few research approaches considered also in detail

the problem of providing feedback.
