Language Learning & Technology Call for Papers
Theme: Technology and Listening Comprehension
Guest Editor: Philip Hubbard
Developments in multimedia software and the Web offer a range of new
opportunities for learners to develop listening proficiency in the target
language. Multimedia programs combine digital audio, graphics, and video with an
array of meaning aids and afford a high level of individual control, while the
Web makes it possible for easy access to an assortment of listening experiences,
including exposure to an unprecedented selection of unfiltered native speaker
materials. This special issue of Language Learning & Technology aims at
providing a variety of perspectives in this area through research articles and
theoretical discussions in the domains of technology-based comprehension,
language acquisition, and testing.
Possible topics include, but are not limited to
* a comprehensive literature review of technology and listening comprehension
* theories or theoretical frameworks for aspects of computer-based listening
* research on the link between computer-based activities that promote listening
comprehension and those that promote language acquisition
* studies on the utilization of authentic listening materials on the Web
* studies of the efficacy of technology-based meaning aids (captions, glosses,
graphics, translations, etc.) to support comprehension and acquisition
* studies of the use of technology for the co-development of listening and
reading proficiency
* studies of the impact of listening and handheld technologies (mobile phones,
MP3 players, etc.) on comprehension
* research into the use of DVDs for language learning
* computer-based testing of listening proficiency
