strategies that learners use to direct their second language learning
are critical when students use multimedia CALL, the Internet and other
electronic resources. These tools give students access to a
large range of learning resources and opportunities, but for the most
part leave learners on their own to decide how to best use
them. How can teachers help to teach learners strategies
for effective use of electronic materials for second language
learning? What does theory, research and practice tell us about
effective use of resources? Papers presented at this conference
will address these questions by exploring the intersection between
learner strategy training and CALL including implications for language
classrooms, teacher education, and materials development.<br>
<br>
Researchers and practitioners in CALL and CALL-related disciplines are
invited to submit abstracts for empirical and theoretical papers on
learner strategies in CALL. Specific areas of interest include
but are not limited to the following:<br>
