    NAACL-HLT 2021 Teaching NLP Proceedings of the Fifth Workshop June 10 - 11, 2021 Mexico City (virtual) ©2021 The Association for Computational Linguistics Order copies of this and other ACL proceedings from: Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) 209 N. Eighth Street Stroudsburg, PA 18360 USA Tel: +1-570-476-8006 Fax: +1-570-476-0860 [email protected] ISBN 978-1-954085-36-7 ii Introduction Welcome to the Fifth Workshop on Teaching Natural Language Processing (NLP). This online workshop featured an exciting mix of papers, teaching material submissions, panels, talks, and participatory activities. The field of NLP is growing rapidly, with new state-of-the-art methods emerging every year, if not sooner. As educators in NLP, we struggle to keep up. We need to make decisions about what to teach and how to teach it with every offering of a course, sometimes even as a course is being offered. The fast-paced nature of NLP brings unique challenges for curriculum design, and the immense growth of the field has lead to not just core NLP courses, but also to more specialized classes and seminars in subareas such as Natural Language Understanding, Computational Social Science, Machine Translation, and many more. We also have an increasing number of students interested in NLP, bringing with them a wide range of backgrounds and experiences. We were happy to accept 13 long papers and 13 short papers on teaching materials. The latter were accompanied by exercises and assignments as Jupyter notebooks, software, slides, and teaching guidelines that will be made available via a repository created as result of the workshop.
