Subject: Revised FLEAT VI CFP

From: IALLT Assoc <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>>

To: Language Learning and Technology International Information Forum <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>>





Dear Colleagues:

As we have fielded many questions from potential presenters in recent weeks, we have revised our Call for Papers so that it more clearly reflects our commitment to both post-secondary and K-12 environments (revised section in bold below).  Please see the revised Call for Papers below, and assure any colleagues, graduate students or personal contacts who have had concerns.



Thank you and we are looking forward to a fantastic FLEAT VI conference at Harvard next August!



Sincerely,

Deanne Cobb-Zygadlo

Social Media Coordinator

The International Association for Language Learning Technology (IALLT) and the Japan Association for Language Education & Technology (J-LET) are pleased to announce our sixth joint Foreign Language Education and Technology Conference (FLEAT VI), to be held at Harvard University, August 11-15, 2015.



The theme for FLEAT VI is "Identities, Communities, and Technologies in Global Environments".   New technologies are erasing the boundaries between practitioners of languages and cultures across the world, and are providing learners and teachers opportunities to build communities of interest and engagement within and outside the language classroom. Students are engaged as never before in using social networks to transcend geography. Access to authentic materials enables students to research and develop informed perspectives on the lives of others. Distance and hybrid approaches to instruction call into question the very notions of classroom and community, and challenge us to rethink the possibilities for building communities around language and culture instruction outside the comforting presence of physical “place”.



**This conference focuses on language education and technology at the university and K-12 levels: the organizers welcome proposals involving the development and use of language technologies in both environments.**



Abstracts may be submitted at http://silc-lss-dev.asu.edu/fleat-vi.  You do *not* need to create an account to submit an abstract proposal. Questions regarding the abstract process may be sent to [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>. The deadline for abstract submission is December 31, 2014.
