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. > > For more information, please email [log in to unmask] > -- A good husband is healthy and absent.
