The expanding domain of Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers a diverse array of educational applications and tools. However, the scholarly exploration of AI's suitability for enhancing English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instruction at the university level remains notably limited. This research gap impedes educators from fully harnessing AI's…

Zhongdi Wu; Eric Larson; Makoto Sano; Doris Baker; Nathan Gage; Akihito Kamata – Grantee Submission, 2023
In this investigation we propose new machine learning methods for automated scoring models that predict the vocabulary acquisition in science and social studies of second grade English language learners, based upon free-form spoken responses. We evaluate performance on an existing dataset and use transfer learning from a large pre-trained language…

Kim, Byungsoo; Yu, Hangyeol; Shin, Dongmin; Choi, Youngduck – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2021
The needs for precisely estimating a student's academic performance have been emphasized with an increasing amount of attention paid to Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS). However, since labels for academic performance, such as test scores, are collected from outside of ITS, obtaining the labels is costly, leading to label-scarcity problem which…

Zesch, Torsten; Horbach, Andrea; Melanie Goggin, Melanie; Wrede-Jackes, Jennifer – Research-publishing.net, 2018
We present a tool for the creation and curation of C-tests. C-tests are an established tool in language proficiency testing and language learning. They require examinees to complete a text in which the second half of every second word is replaced by a gap. We support teachers and test designers in creating such tests through a web-based system…

Mirzaei, Maryam Sadat; Meshgi, Kourosh – Research-publishing.net, 2020
This paper investigates the effect of sentence complexity, specifically lexical and syntactic surprisal, on L2 listening difficulty. Psycholinguistic studies revealed that surprisal cases correlate with textual comprehension difficulty. Based on surprisal theory, these cases are less probable or expected, considering the precedent context, thus…

Zilio, Leonardo; Wilkens, Rodrigo; Fairon, Cédrick – Research-publishing.net, 2017
Presentation of raw text to language learners is not enough to ensure learning. Thus, we present the Smart and Immersive Language Learning Environment (SMILLE), a system that uses Natural Language Processing (NLP) for enhancing grammatical information in texts chosen by a given user. The enhancements, carried out by means of text highlighting, are…
