From: "A-P. Lian" <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> Subject: Invitation to participate in research surveys Date: October 11, 2013 8:36:15 AM CDT To: "Forum, Language Learning and Technology International Information" <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> Dear Colleagues, I would like to invite you to participate in the following research surveys which I am undertaking, some in collaboration with colleagues from AsiaCALL (the Asia Association of Computer-Assisted Language Learning). The first survey relates to perceptions by practitioners and others of the state of foreign/second language learning. The other three surveys have a more specific focus on computer-assisted (or technology-enhanced) language-learning (CALL or TELL). All surveys seek to provide clearer insights into where we are, where we have been and where we are going and, in due course, will (hopefully) contribute to the development of our profession. I/we very much appreciate your time and your input and please feel free to invite friends and colleagues. Graduate students may contribute to some of these surveys even though they may not have completed their research. Now here are the surveys - Perceptions of L2 Teaching/Learning (including ESL/EFL) http://gocultures.com/drupal7/node/11 - about language teaching/learning in general. The AsiaCALL Graduate Thesis survey. http://asiacall.org/network/?q=content/asiacall-graduate-thesis-survey - seeking to identify and catalog theses/dissertations undertaken in Asian contexts Identifying Important TELL/CALL Research Issues http://gocultures.com/drupal7/node/10 - what research in CALL do people feel we should be doing? Online Survey of TELL/CALL Activities in Asian Contexts http://gocultures.com/drupal7/node/8 Best wishes and many thanks Andrew Lian -- Professor Dr. Andrew Lian, Suranaree University of Technology Emeritus Professor , University of Canberra, Canberra, ACT, Australia President of AsiaCALL School of Foreign Languages Institute of Social Technology Suranaree University of Technology 111 University Avenue Muang District Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand, 30000 e-mail: [log in to unmask]; website: http://www.andrewlian.com We don't see things as they are, we see things as we are.
