MyAnnotator is a R&D collaborative project between Applied Linguists (Hamel & Slavkon, OLBI) and Computer Scientists (Xiao, Carleton U. & Inkpen, EECS) which aims at the development of a Natural Language Processing (NLP) based Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) tool to support the provision of Written Corrective Feedback (WCF) in language teaching and learning. MyAnnotator offers teachers a multilingual, customizable environment to annotate language learners' texts and comes with comprehensive statistical features that students can retrieve. The presentation will highlight the motivation for the development of such a tool while a beta version of MyAnnotator will be demonstrated.
