ABOUT THE SYMPOSIUM<br class="">
Digital media have changed the ways in which we communicate and connect and thus have also pushed us to reshape how we teach and learn languages. Within discussions of second language learning/teaching and biliteracy development, the educational potential of
digital media is often cast in celebratory tones. The 2018 L2DL symposium aims to contribute to and expand these discussions by considering the ways in which technologies can not only enable new forms of interaction, authorship, and access, but also the ways
in which participation in digital spaces is rarely full and equitable, but is more often than not fraught with questions of access, legitimacy, and symbolic power.<br class="">
<br class="">
The 2018 L2DL hybrid symposium includes a week of online presentations and discussions, October 15-19, and culminates with a day of in-person/live streamed talks by invited speakers on October 20.<br class="">
<br class="">
This event is the third symposium in a biennial series organized by the University of Arizona's Center for Educational Resources in Culture, Language and Literacy<<a href="http://cercll.arizona.edu/" class="">http://cercll.arizona.edu/</a>> (CERCLL). The 2018
symposium is organized together with the Technology-Enhanced Language Learning Initiative<<a href="http://tell.sites.arizona.edu/" class="">http://tell.sites.arizona.edu/</a>>, and cosponsored by the College of Humanities, College of Social and Behavioral
Sciences, the Second Language Acquisition and Teaching Program, and the Department of English.<br class="">
<br class="">
REGISTRATION INFORMATION<br class="">
