IALLT 2007's Program Committee is looking for proposals that show
how technology can and will revolutionize the learning and teaching of
languages. These proposals could have topics such as:
- emerging technologies in support of language instruction, including:
- computer-mediated communication
- simulation and virtual environments
- portable technologies
- open source and other initiatives in the development of software
for language instruction as well as new models for intra- and
inter-institutional collaboration
- issues surrounding language center design
- legal and political issues affecting language learning and
media development
- assessment and research on language learning technologies,
including case studies, action research and qualitative/quantitative
analyses
- other related topics (please contact the Program Committee with
pre-proposals)
Presentations will range from 45 minute sessions, one hour panels,
and poster sessions to half-day and full-day workshops.
Commercial exhibitors will include a wide variety of local, national,
and international language learning and technology vendors as well as
representatives of some of the major foreign language publishers.
The meeting will include a variety of social and sightseeing events in
and around the Boston area including an opening reception, special
lunches, as well as optional special events.
People who are new to the field of language learning and technology and
new language center staff will find this conference extremely helpful,
especially the pre-conference workshops. New attendees are very much
encouraged and are given special recognition.
