Description:
The Language Flagship Technology Innovation Center (Tech Center) offers a
Summer Internship Program to qualified graduate students who are interested in
gaining experience working with innovative language technologies and language
learning professionals. The purpose of the Summer Internship Program is to
support graduate student participation in an intensive language technology
project. Internship projects are highly focused and have elevated priority
within the Tech Center portfolio. Interns are supervised by relevant Tech
Center faculty.

The duration of the internship is 6 to 8 weeks (6 hrs/day Mon. thru Fri.) in
which the selected intern works on a specific Tech Center project. Topics for
internship projects vary, depending on a student’s interest. For example, a
recent Intern was directly involved in the development of an Arabic text
summarization algorithm using probabilistic topic modeling techniques. These
summarizations were subsequently integrated as material in a technology
platform for developing intercultural competence. 

Areas of expertise that typically overlap with Tech Center projects include
natural language processing, human language technology, computational
linguistics, data science methods/techniques, digital audio/video data
processing and analysis, human computer interaction/design, and learning
technology design/Implementation.

Example Projects Planned for Summer 2020
(The following indicate faculty projects that are planned for Summer 2020 and
are provided as examples. Applicants are encouraged to submit proposals based
on their interests and skills.)

Learning Analytics. xAPI applications, data analysis, data modeling,
data-driven H5P module analysis and design. Relevant interests/skills: data
science, development of language learning technology, learning sciences,
learning analytics

Flagship Dashboard Analysis, Design, and Implementation. Relevant
interests/skills: web programming skills, social network learning systems
architecture and implementation

Technology Integration into Simulated learning Experiences for Professional
Language. Technology-enhanced immersive cultural learning, collaborative
projects, and multiliteracies-focused task design. Relevant interests/skills:
technology-enhanced language learning, multiliteracy pedagogy, intercultural
competence, collaborative learning, professional language proficiency in
Mandarin Chinese or Korean.

Current and active matriculation in an official program of study (Master’s,
Ph.D., or advanced graduate certificate) at an accredited post-baccalaureate
institution in an area of relevance to language, learning, and technology
(E.g., World Languages, Linguistics, Human Language Technology, Learning
