   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
