Title: Natural Language Processing for Personalised Language Learning

Abstract: One of the biggest challenges faced by the education system has been the presumption that every learner has the same interest and aptitude to learn, leading to ‘one-size-fits-all’ learning, teaching, and assessment. Personalised education intends to address the distinct learning needs, enhancing the experience of learning and teaching, as well as providing equal opportunities for learners and teachers worldwide. Language education is the process and practice of teaching or learning a second or foreign language. In this talk, I will look at how natural language processing technologies can help with personalised language learning. Particular tasks I will focus on include grammatical error correction, automated assessment, learner performance prediction, and task selection.
