GLoCall 2008

 

Jakarta  -  November 7-9, 2008

Yogyakarta  -  November 10-12, 2008

 

The GLoCALL Conference aims to share knowledge, research and experience on how to use computer technology to make language learning more effective and pleasant; to explore how the technology can be adapted to better meet the local needs of students and teachers, while at the same time providing global perspectives on computer-assisted language learning (CALL); and to bring the technology within the reach of local teachers who wish to develop their professionalism in CALL.

 

GLoCALL 2008 invites proposals for presentations that are related to computer-assisted language learning. Proposals for Papers (35 minutes), Symposia (120 minutes) and Poster sessions should be using the form at this link. <http://glocall.org/program/proposal08.html> 

Proposals are encouraged within the sub-themes below, but are not limited to:

application of technology to the language classroom 

localizing Internet materials to the classroom 

using the Internet for cultural exchange 

managing multimedia/hypermedia environments 

e-learning, collaborative learning and blended learning 

emerging technologies 

fostering autonomous learning through technology 

Web 2.0 and language learning 

training language teachers in e-learning environments 

Successful applicants will be notified by August 1st, 2008, although those who require an earlier decision for funding purposes may request so in the Comments area of the proposal Web form.

The conference takes the form of a 'traveling roadshow' with Organizing Committee members, plenary speakers and whoever else wishes to give presentations at both locations. Presenters from outside Indonesia are particularly encouraged to submit multiple proposals, covering both 'state of the art' themes as well as 'practical training' so that participants with varying levels of CALL experience will be able to benefit from conference participation.
