>Types of Presentations and Conference Strands
>Note: The Programme Committee reserves the right to accept proposals
>in a different  category or strand.
>Paper Presentations
>Paper presentations (45-minute or 30-minute presentations) should
>allow 10 minutes for discussion and 5 minutes for change over.
>Paper Presentation proposals should indicate the relevant strand (see
>list below).
>Research Papers: Papers are invited which focus on the presentation
>of research undertaken in any area of CALL. There should be a clearly
>stated topic of investigation, supported by a rationale, which may
>include a brief literature review. Papers may be empirical or
>theoretical. The methodology should be outlined clearly, as well as
>the nature of actual or potential findings.
>Research & Development Papers: Papers in this strand will focus on
>the presentation and critical appraisal of development of
>applications, courses integrating CALL, etc. They should be original
>and may emphasise practice rather than research. They can also report
>on projects (e.g. transnational, national, local, etc.).
>Reflective Practice Papers: Papers in this strand will focus on the
>integration of CALL in the classroom or in distance/virtual learning
>environments. Reflection may take the form of evaluation or action
>research. These proposals must include some elements that are of
>relevance beyond the context of the practice presented and discussed.
>CALL for Development Papers: Papers in this strand will focus on CALL
>in developing countries. Reports on challenges and new developments
>are particularly welcome.
>Symposia
>Symposia consist of three or four papers on a similar topic, proposed
>and organised by a Chair. Sessions should last for 90 minutes, with
>NO changeover during the symposium. Only one submission is required
>for the papers that make up the symposium proposal. Individual
>abstracts must be preceded by the symposium summary, which should
>include an overview of the topic, the rationale for the choice of
>papers, and other relevant information.
>Courseware Showcase
>Participants who are developing courseware, authoware and online
>application are invited to submit a proposal to showcase their work
>in a relaxed atmosphere conducive to informal exchanges and
>discussion. Presenters may also submit a proposal for a paper, which
>elaborates on the material presented at the Courseware Showcase
>(including evaluation findings, design principles and so on).
>Posters
>As standing displays are designed to draw attention to a project or
>area of work, a poster will usually focus on work in progress, though
>preliminary research or evaluation results should be presented.
>Posters should be succinct and to the point, easy to read and
>attractively designed. Applications from postgraduate students are
>particularly welcomed.
