We present crowdsourced collection of error annotations for transcriptions of spoken learner English. Our emphasis in data collection is on fluency corrections, a more complete correction than has traditionally been aimed for in grammatical error correction research (GEC). Fluency corrections require improvements to the text, taking discourse and utterance level semantics into account: the resu...

متن کاملHuman and Automated Scoring of Fluency, Pronunciation and Intonation During Human-Machine Spoken Dialog Interactions
We present a spoken dialog-based framework for the computerassisted language learning (CALL) of conversational English. In particular, we leveraged the open-source HALEF dialog framework to develop a job interview conversational application. We then used crowdsourcing to collect multiple interactions with the system from non-native English speakers. We analyzed human-rated scores of the recorde...

Both types of activities were realized as written interactions with a computer-based dialogue system and were framed within a “Directions giving” scenario. The linguistic form in focus was the German dative case i...
