LANGUAGE LEARNING IN COMPUTER MEDIATED COMMUNITIES (LLCMC) CONFERENCE October 11-13, 2009, Honolulu, Hawaii http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/llcmc/ Once, computers were seen as thinking machines or electronic tutors. Now the computer has become one of many devices that people use to form virtual communities of all kinds. In the field of language education, computer mediated communication (CMC) enables students to interact with one another free of space and time constraints and to participate in communities of learning with their counterparts in the target culture. The Language Learning in Computer Mediated Communities (LLCMC) Conference explores the use of computers as a medium of communication in language learning communities. Conference highlights * Keynote talk by Dr. Gilberte Furstenberg (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) * Special colloquium showcasing online cultural exchanges based at the University of Hawaii * Optional pre-conference event - CULTURA: Web-based Intercultural Exchanges (October 10-11) We welcome your session proposal submissions in this exciting area.
