4. Evaluation

Bugs, improving interface

Issues:

• Accepting words without vowel length markers in Leksa, works not with all combinations
  • Should be a hint: Look at vowel length! like in South Saami for now, maybe later on marking the problematic vowel in some way
• Left column menu should instead be a drop-down menu in the main menu
• Not all semantic field function. We should compare the crkeng and engckr, and also with forms.py file.
• Look at carrot = oskâtâsk, why in parentheses?

TODO:

• Bug with vowel length markers in Leksa: Lene
• Make it as a hint: Ryan
• Change the menu: Ryan
• Look at semantic classes: Lene
• Look at carrot: Lene

Improving the content

extending the lexical content in various forms

Issues:

• Add the second book, and add the word content from that source ArtLab
  • (perhaps requiring audience with NS Associate Dean, Teaching, or asking Dorothy directly).
• Some of the spelling is different from the NS textbook
  • Check the orthography nêhiyawêtân vs FST vs coursebook
  • Lene makes a list
• Numra: change the English dates: day/month order?
  • Lene can do that (together with Antti?)
• Leksa: bookparts individually, or also cumulatively 1-2, 1-3 and 1-4
  • Lene, Ryan
• Morphological hints: improve those
  • Atticus, Lene

New tasks/exercise templates

nehiyawetan:

• Make VTA-tasks:
  • add exemplary/prototypical animate objects for TA verbs to the lexicon file (nouns from the course materials) - but these are restricted to 3rd person nominal objects
  • Megan
• exercises for simply person/number subject object combinations (regular vs. inverse forms)
  • Megan will make a plan
• Make II-tasks:
  • singular only, or plural as well. already in LEKSA
  • Megan will add them to the lexiconfile
• Make tasks with Conjuncts (ê-, ka- forms)
  • Megan will make a plan
• Make tasks with Demonstrative pronouns: animacy/number
  • Megan will make a plan
• Nouns/possessives: extending them
  • Megan will make a plan
• Improving feedback in Morfa, using linguistic analyses or error corpus
  • analysis to add common erroneous forms into the crk FST

hdn:

extract from Jordan some exercise that is interesting and makes use of morphology and context.

• Megan will make a plan

Evaluation

We discussed how to evaluate the tools with the students

Next meeting

Megan will tell when she has made the plans for the new kinds of tasks
