Breakout Groups

Each workshop participant is assigned to a breakout group. Participants are asked to read all the papers from their assigned breakout group. The author of each paper will give a very short introduction of the paper (2-3 minutes), after which participants will discuss each paper and how it can inform the workshop themes (printed worksheets will be provided).

During the afternoon sessions, each breakout group will finalize the discussions around the papers, and then engage in a brainstorming on designing an interactive spoken language application (details and worksheets will be provided). The afternoon will conclude with each breakout group reporting, in plenary, the results of their brainstorming.
