Automatically Generating Questions to Support the Acquisition of Particle Verbs: Evaluating via Crowdsourcing
Chinkina, Maria; Ruiz, Simón; Meurers, Detmar
Research-publishing.net, Paper presented at the EUROCALL 2017 Conference (Southampton, United Kingdom, Aug 23-26, 2017)
We integrate insights from research in Second Language Acquisition (SLA) and Computational Linguistics (CL) to generate text-based questions. We discuss the generation of wh- questions as functionally-driven input enhancement facilitating the acquisition of particle verbs and report the results of two crowdsourcing studies. The first study shows that automatically generated questions are comparable to human-written ones. The second study investigates different types of questions, their perceived quality, and the responses they elicit. [For the complete volume, see ED578177.]
