Meeting Description: 

This event, funded by the UK Higher Education Academy as part of its 
workshop and seminar series, will focus on evidence-based research 
into advances in new and emerging digital language learning 
technologies, examining creative and innovative ways to teach and 
learn languages. This event will incorporate both seminar (research-
based papers) and workshop elements (hands-on practical sessions) in 
order to emphasize the principle of research-informed teaching in the 
area of computer-assisted language learning (CALL). The event intends 
to explore synergies and continuities between a range of areas that 
hold the most potential for future advances in digital language learning 
and teaching, including designing online and blended language 
learning, mobile learning, digital-game based learning and virtual 
worlds, as well as social media assisted language learning. The event 
will build on recent research in the School of Languages and 
International Studies about digital natives, digital education, and task-
based language learning and teaching.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as 
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These 
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax
return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site,
or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match 
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your 
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the 
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a
simple administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to
LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
