Meeting Description: 

The University of Nottingham is delighted to welcome Eurocall back to the 
UK in 2011. The conference will take place on the Jubilee Campus in the city 
of Nottingham and will be hosted by the School of Modern Languages and 
Cultures. 

The theme of the Nottingham conference is 'The Call Triangle: Student, 
Teacher and Institution' and will seek to explore student expectations of the 
role of technology in their learning, how the teaching profession embraces 
new developments and the part played by the learning institution in providing 
a rich learning environment for both students and staff.

Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) is an established but rapidly 
evolving academic field that explores the role of information and 
communication technologies in language learning and teaching. It includes 
highly interactive and communicative support for listening, speaking, reading 
and writing, involving extensive use of the Internet, and a wide range of 
activities and initiatives in materials development, pedagogical practice, and 
research. 

Research in CALL has been carried out for more than thirty years, and has 
now reached a significant level of volume and maturity. It is a truly 
international discipline and has led to notable improvements in the teaching 
and learning of languages in secondary and higher education institutions 
worldwide. It is important, however, to emphasise the interdisciplinary nature 
of CALL. CALL research can be said to belong to the field of Applied 
Language Studies and, in particular, to Second Language Acquisition (SLA), 
itself a rapidly evolving discipline. CALL and SLA are related to linguistics 
and its subdivisions: sociolinguistics, pragmatics, discourse analysis, 
psycholinguistics, semantics, phonetics, and corpus linguistics.
