Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics; Computational Linguistics
Call Deadline: 07-Jun-2023
Meeting Description:
AI-powered technologies have made natural language recognition and
generation more accessible than ever before, opening up new
possibilities for applied linguistics research and practice. Like
previous advances in digital tools powered by natural language
processing, hypermedia, microcomputers, large databases, networking,
virtual reality, and wireless technologies, AI tools invite
professionals in applied linguistics to imagine new ways of teaching,
learning, assessing, and researching language. Unlike previous
advances, however, AI tools such as intelligent chatbots and spoken
dialog systems appear to forecast a seismic shift in practices in the
field.
The language capacities of these new tools call for exploration of
their potentials for new learning and assessment. They also require
inquiry into the skill set required of language learners and test
takers who have access to them. AI-powered bots for language learning
and assessment might, for example
Act as a partner in an interactive dialog
Evaluate students’ language production based on rules or a rubric
Provide comprehensive grammatical feedback on students’ texts
Guide students’ writing processes to increase the
comprehensibility of their texts
Generate level-appropriate texts on requested topics
Compose example texts for teaching and learning genre-appropriate
moves
Identify textual cues indicating a writer’s affective and
epistemic stances
On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the Technology for Second
Language Learning (TSLL) conference at Iowa State University, we
invite abstracts describing research investigating the potentials,
uses, and implications of AI technologies for language teaching,
learning, assessment, and research. The conference theme, “Advancing
Technologies – Expanding Research,” signifies the multiple strands of
research and practice in applied linguistics affected by current and
future AI technologies.
We are particularly interested in work connected to one or more of the
following strands of applied linguistics research at Iowa State
University:
Data-driven language learning
Technology in project-based learning
Feedback on writing processes and products
Learning and assessment of spoken language
Language assessment design and validation
Language teacher education
We are particularly interested in exploratory studies using
design-based, qualitative, and mixed-methods research to reveal
insights into the linguistic, learning, and performance dimensions of
AI technologies for language teaching, learning, assessment, and
research.
Abstracts proposing papers related to the theme are invited for the
conference to be held in hybrid format at Iowa State University on
October 20-21, 2023.
2nd Call for Papers:
