>Subject: IALLT 2009 Call for Proposals
The International Association for Language Learning and Technology is pleased to
announce the call for proposals for IALLT 2009.
Mary Morrisard-Larkin, Conference Program Chair, invites you to submit proposals
for "Language Learning GPS: Navigating the World of Technology", to be hosted by
Georgia State University, Atlanta, GA, May 28-30, 2009. Pre-conference
Workshops will be held on Tuesday and Wednesday, May 26th and 27th.
The International Association for Language Learning Technology welcomes
proposals for conference presentations relating to the intersection of the
teaching of languages and the use of technology.
IALLT 2009's Program Committee is looking for proposals that show how technology
is guiding the future of language learning and teaching. Possible topics
include:
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)
Presentation types include 45-minute sessions, 20-minute mini-sessions, one-hour
panels, poster sessions, half-day, and full-day workshops.
45-minute sessions are designed for one or more presenters who discuss a
proposed topic.
20-minute mini-sessions are designed for 1-2 presenters who want to make a
shorter presentation about a proposed topic. This might include a demonstration
of a technology-based tool or a discussion of preliminary research results.
One-hour panels are designed to encourage discussion among 3-5 presenters
(typically from different institutions) and the audience about a designated
topic. Each presenter usually speaks for 5-10 minutes prior to taking
questions/comments from the audience.
Half-day (4-hour) and Full-day (8-hour) workshops typically offer hands-on
training with technology tools. Both MAC and PC labs are available to
presenters but presenters will need to provide their own software.
