The sixth EAMT Workshop will take place on 14-15 November 2002
hosted by the Centre for Computational Linguistics, UMIST,

Organised by the European Association for Machine Translation,
in association with the Natural Language Translation Specialist Group
of the British Computer Society, the Workshop will focus on the topic
of:

                    Teaching Machine Translation

The following topics are of interest:

   why and to whom should MT be taught?
   teaching the theoretical background of MT: linguistics, computer
science,
   translation theory
   addressing preconceptions about MT in the classroom
   the use of commercial MT programs in hands-on teaching
   teaching computational aspects of MT to non-computational students
   web-based distance learning of MT MT education and industry:
   bridging the gap between academia and the real world
   teaching pre- and post-editing skills to MT users
   teaching MT evaluation
   building modules or `toy' MT systems in the laboratory
   experiences of the evaluation of MT instruction
   the role of MT in language learning
   translation studies and MT
   etc.

We invite submissions of an extended abstract of your proposed paper,
up to two pages, summarizing the main points that will be made in
the actual paper.

Submissions will be reviewed by members of the Programme Committee.
Authors of accepted papers will be asked to submit a full version of
the paper, maximum 12 pages, which will be included in the
proceedings.

A stylefile for accepted submissions will be available in due course.


Initially, an extended abstract should be sent, preferably by email
as an attachment in any of the standard formats (doc, html, pdf, ps)
or as plain text, to Harold.Somers at umist.ac.uk.

Otherwise, hardcopy can be sent to:
