A brief description / draft of CfP

 

The aim of this workshop is to provide a forum where international participants can share knowledge on the technology enhanced language learning (TELL). With the integration of pedagogy theories and careful design, TELL has the capability of providing learners with favorable conditions for language learning, such as independent and targeted skill practice, immediate corrective feedback, portability, social interactivity, context sensitivity, connectivity, individuality, and immediacy. As various kinds of exploration and implications have been emerging, more efforts should be devoted to make further understanding about the reasonable integration of language learning theories and latest technology development. The two-hour workshop will provide a forum where international participants can share knowledge, experiences and concerns on related issues in TELL, understand new era trends and strategies, as well as explore directions for future research collaborations.

 

Scope of interests includes, but not limited to: 

• Theoretical foundations of technology enhanced language learning (TELL)

• Soft technologies of TELL

• Hard technologies of TELL

• Emerging ICT tools and applications for TELL

• Language learning strategies & learning styles in situated learning for TELL

• Digital content development for TELL

• Assessment & evaluation of TELL

• Blended learning & hybrid course of TELL

• Socio-cultural perspectives and implications of education in TELL

• Teachers’ professional development for translation and scaling up of TELL

• TELL in open, distance and flexible learning contexts

• TELL in informal learning (e.g., libraries, academic support services, student societies/guilds, careers, alumni, marketing and recruitment)
