THIRD CALL FOR PAPERS
8th Annual Conference on
Technology for Second Language Learning (TSLL)
held in conjunction with
The second annual conference of
Pronunciation in Second Language Learning and Teaching
September 10-11, 2010
The role of CALL in hybrid and online language courses
Plenary speaker: Senta Gortler, Michigan State University
There is an increasing demand for online and hybrid language courses, which
presents a unique set of opportunities and challenges for teachers, researchers,
and materials developers with computer-assisted language learning (CALL)
knowledge. This experience may range from classroom use to research on social
networking resources, automated essay-scoring systems, and other emerging
technologies. Resources utilized in such courses often precipitate issues
concerning cost, training, and effectiveness. This conference aims to explore
CALL's role in the development and evaluation of online and hybrid language
courses by collaborating with researchers and graduate students attending to
questions such as the following. Papers that address these points are welcome:
How does experience with CALL influence development and evaluation of hybrid and
online language courses?
What insights from SLA research can provide insight into the development and
evaluation these courses?
What core research issues and methods need to be addressed when developing these
courses?
What knowledge can be gained from both successful and less successful attempts
at thoughtful course conversion projects?
How do public stakeholders affect the development, evaluation, and success of
hybrid language courses?
Deadline for submission has been extended to May 30, 2010. Please submit a
