An Analysis and Visualization Tool for Case Study Learning of Linguistic Concepts
Cecilia Ovesdotter Alm, Benjamin Meyers, Emily Prud’hommeaux
Abstract
We present an educational tool that integrates computational linguistics resources for use in non-technical undergraduate language science courses. By using the tool in conjunction with evidence-driven pedagogical case studies, we strive to provide opportunities for students to gain an understanding of linguistic concepts and analysis through the lens of realistic problems in feasible ways. Case studies tend to be used in legal, business, and health education contexts, but less in the teaching and learning of linguistics. The approach introduced also has potential to encourage students across training backgrounds to continue on to computational language analysis coursework.- Anthology ID:
