It has been estimated that over a billion people are using or
learning English as a second or foreign language, and the numbers
are growing not only for English but for other languages as well.
These language learners provide a burgeoning market for tools that
help identify and correct learners' writing errors. Unfortunately,
the errors targeted by typical commercial proofreading tools do not
include those aspects of a second language that are hardest to
learn. This volume describes the types of constructions English
language learners find most difficult: constructions containing
prepositions, articles, and collocations. It provides an overview
of the automated approaches that have been developed to identify
and correct these and other classes of learner errors in a number
of languages. Error annotation and system evaluation are
particularly important topics in grammatical error detection
because there are no commonly accepted standards. Chapters in the
book describe the options available to researchers, recommend best
practices for reporting results, and present annotation and
evaluation schemes. The final chapters explore recent innovative
work that opens new directions for research. It is the authors'
hope that this volume will continue to contribute to the growing
interest in grammatical error detection by encouraging researchers
to take a closer look at the field and its many challenging
problems.
