WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
The BEA Workshop is a leading venue for NLP innovation in the context
of educational applications. It is one of the largest one-day
workshops in the ACL community with over 100 registered attendees in
the past several years. The growing interest in educational
applications and a diverse community of researchers involved resulted
in the creation of the Special Interest Group in Educational
Applications (SIGEDU) in 2017, which currently has over 370 members.

The 19th BEA workshop will have a keynote by Alla Rozovskaya (Queens
College, CUNY), an invited paper presentation by a member of one of
the educational societies from the International Alliance to Advance
Learning in the Digital Era (IAALDE), oral presentation sessions, and
a large poster session to maximize the amount of original work
presented. This year, the workshop is also hosting two shared tasks:
on Automated Prediction of Item Difficulty and Item Response Time and
on Multilingual Lexical Simplification. We expect that the workshop
will continue to highlight novel technologies and opportunities for
educational NLP in English as well as other languages. The workshop
will solicit long, short and demo papers for either oral or poster
presentation.

We will solicit papers that incorporate NLP methods, including, but
not limited to:

•       use of LLMs and generative AI in educational contexts
•       automated scoring of open-ended textual and spoken responses;
•       automated scoring/evaluation for written student responses
(across multiple genres);
•       game-based instruction and assessment;
•       educational data mining;
•       intelligent tutoring;
•       collaborative learning environments;
•       peer review;
•       grammatical error detection and correction;
•       learner cognition;
•       spoken dialog;
•       multimodal applications;
•       annotation standards and schemas;
•       tools and applications for classroom teachers, learners and/or
test developers; and
•       use of corpora in educational tools.

INVITED TALKS

The workshop will feature a keynote by Alla Rozovskaya (Queens
College, CUNY) and an invited talk by a speaker from one of the IAALDE
societies.
