Abstract

We describe course adaptation and development for teaching computational linguistics for the diverse body of undergraduate and graduate students the Department of Linguistics at the University of Texas at Austin. We also discuss classroom tools and teaching aids we have used and created, and we mention our efforts to develop a campus-wide computational linguistics program.
