Meeting Description:

ICALL in the Digital Age: Leveraging Natural Language Processing in an Increasingly Connected Learning Environment
Pre-conference workshop at the CALICO conference 2013 in Hawaii

Innovative approaches to ICALL 
Working with NLP through APIs (OpenNLP, NLTK, etc.)
Web-service approaches to ICALL
Corpus-based ICALL 
Analyzing learner language 
Learner modeling 
Automatic evaluation or feedback generation
Natural language generation and understanding
