This was such a productive year for DD-LANG, with numerous meetings with #teachers and #learners, many #conference #presentations, and notable developments incorporating #AI into DD-LANG.

We also wrote a paper with teachers for the #Kielikukko journal.

Thank you to everyone who made this happen!

DD-Lang team has been travelling around Finland to engage with our amazing #teacher collaborators and meet with students. We collected lots of data, had really interesting #discussions with teachers and #students, and got lots of ideas.
Also, a shark is missing in Turku, apparently

DD-Lang team has been out and about again, collecting data. This time in #Tampere.
We owe this all to our wonderful #teacher #collaborators and enthusiastic #students 🙌
Kiitos kaikille for making this happen!

DD-LANG team had great two days in #Turku last week, meeting our #teacher #collaborators and presenting the project to several groups of #students. It was an excellent opportunity to develop our ideas together, including using #AI as #pedagogical tool in the #classroom!

We have also presented in numerous conferences throughout the world, including #AAAL2023 #AAAL2024 #EALTA2024 #LTRC2024, #AIRiAL2024, and #SCT-SLL on #mediation in #DA, #assessment #fairness #constructss, and #AI

Two publications are out: (1) a book on #diagnosing #writing in a second or foreign #language by Ari Huhta, Claudia Harsch,
@dima403.bsky.social, and Lea Nieminen, which informed the DD-LANG project and (2) an article on construct work in #Dynamic #Diagnostic #assessment doi.org/10.30661/afi... 🧵

Here are some of the highlights of what we have achieved by the mid-point of the project with, a lot of which we owe to our wonderful teacher collaborators and and the international collaborator team 🧵
