Teaching English with Technology (TEwT)
Volume 15, Issue 2 (ISSN 1642-1027)

The Journal of Teaching English with Technology (TEwT) is seeking contributions for its special issue on Technology-mediated task-based English language learning, edited by Anna Franca Plastina, University of Calabria, Italy, to appear in April 2015.

The potential synergy between task-based language learning (TBLL) and the use of technology presents a number of challenges for current English teachers. Nevertheless, "anyone concerned with second language teaching and learning in the 21st century needs to grasp the nature of the unique technology-mediated tasks learners can engage in for language acquisition" (Chapelle, 2001:2).

Abstract proposals of 300-350 words are invited from language practitioners and researchers from all fields related to technology-mediated task-based English language learning. Papers in the form of research reports, case studies, research in progress, or theoretical papers are welcomed. 

Contributions may focus on the issue in a number of ways, including but not limited to:
-• Challenges and opportunities of technology-mediated task-based English language learning
-• Innovations in language learning through collaborative digital tasks
- Language learner and teacher roles in technology-enhanced task-based instruction
- Learner behaviour and attitudes towards technology-mediated task-based language instruction
- Learner Empowerment in technological-mediated task-based language learning
- Learning/cognitive styles in digital task-based language learning
- Multimodality in task-based language instruction
- Pedagogical evaluation of web-based tools and mobile devices for language learning tasks
- Pedagogical uses of authentic digital tools/materials for task-based learning
- Productive and participatory learning processes in Pedagogy 2.0 tasks
- Social Media and possible task-based applications in language learning (e.g. Twitter, Facebook, Blogs, Wikis, Forums)
- Teacher Development for technology-mediated task-based instruction
- Technological software applications in ESL/EFL/ESP tasks
- Technological task design for ESL/EFL/ESP courseware and syllabi through the use, for example, of social-constructivist, connectivist, personalized learning approaches
- Technological-mediated task-based language instruction for professional training and practice
- Technological-mediated task-based language learning in digital environments (e.g. MOOCs, Learning Management Systems, Moodle, Poodle, use of Webquests) 
- The effectiveness/drawbacks of task-based learner e-portfolios 
- The impact of digital language learning policies on task-based instruction.

Abstract proposals should specify the name(s) and affiliation of the contributor(s) and be sent to:

kamila.burz at wp.pl and CC 
jarek.krajka at wp.pl; annafranca.plastina at unical.it with 
the email subject line "TEWT special issue submission". 

Notification of acceptance: 1 December 2014.
The deadline for submitting a completed paper of around 3,000 words of the text proper, without abstract, references, notes and appendices is 1 February 2015.
