SCOPE AND AIM OF THE SYMPOSIUM
The HLT4LL 2013 symposium will address the possibilities and challenges 
of using human language technologies (HLT) for language learning (LL) 
(HLT4LL). We define HLT4LL as any use or integration of language and 
speech technology to structure, facilitate (support) and evaluate the 
language learning process. To fully acknowledge and address the 
complexity of this interdisciplinary domain, the symposium aims to bring 
together representatives from various but related research fields: 
language and speech technology, computational linguistics, corpus 
linguistics (learner and bilingual corpora), data-driven language 
learning, (second) language acquisition, language pedagogy, computer 
assisted language learning (CALL), educational technology, semantic web, 
artificial intelligence, human-computer interaction (HCI/CHI), etc.
This symposium is intended to provide a state-of-the-art overview of 
this interdisciplinary domain for people from academia, educational 
institutions, industry, as well as for policymakers.

Registration and participation are free of charge.
If you want to register, send an email to HLT4LL at let.ru.nl.
Mention if you want to be present in Stellenbosch, Nijmegen or Kortrijk.
The number of available places is limited, we thus might have to select.

CALL FOR PAPERS
We hereby solicit contributions to the research workshop on 12 November 
2013.
Potential authors are invited to submit a proposal for a paper or poster 
session related to any of the mentioned fields. Submissions can also 
provide feedback on the use of current applications, or suggest possible 
ways of optimization and propose future developments, based on a 
systematic investigation of the subject. All submissions will be 
subjected to peer review; only a limited number of contributions will be 
presented at the workshop. During the workshop, presenters will get 
feedback from the keynote speakers.
During the research workshop, video conferencing facilities will be 
available at Radboud University (Nijmegen, The Netherlands) and at KU 
Leuven Kulak (Kortrijk, Belgium), which will allow researchers to 
present their work from remote locations.
We are considering inviting presenters to submit full-length papers 
after the workshop, which may be published in a special issue of an 
authoritative, interdisciplinary and international journal in the field.
