CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
//////////////////////

The field of language and speech technology is such that curricula
have always been closely related to computational theories and related
tools. Yet tools that are available to support curricula are
often no more than unrefined versions of programs developed in
research laboratories that authors have generously made available to
the public. The aims of this workshop are:

- To present examples of computer/internet supported tools that
are in current use or under development.

- To establish a registry of computational tools that are currently
being used to support Education in Language and Speech Technology (ELST).

- To consider the possibility of adopting a common framework
for the development of tools and environments specifically designed with
educational goals in mind.

- To establish a special interest group (e.g. under the
auspices of the learned associations and/or ELSNET) within which the
educational issues in our field could be given the time and attention
they deserve.
