Meeting Description:

Participation, a long-standing assessment category on language syllabi, has
found a new conceptual life over the last few decades as digital literacies
practices have become a part of everyday life and learning. This symposium 
aims to contribute to discussions of the role of digital literacies in second
language learning and teaching and biliteracy development,  by considering the
ways in which technologically-mediated communication can enable new forms of
participation 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 legitimacy and symbolic power. 

With invited presenters: 

Carol Brochin, University of Arizona
Susan Herring, Indiana University  
Judy Kalman, Centro de Investigacion y Estudios Avanzados del IPN
Bonny Norton, University of British Columbia
Illona Vandergriff, San Francisco State University

This hybrid symposium is sponsored by the Center for Educational Resources in
Culture, Language and Literacy (CERCLL, a Title VI National Language Resource
Center in the College of Humanities at the University of Arizona) together
with the Technology-Enhanced Language Learning Initiative and with support
from other units at the University of Arizona. The 2018 L2DL symposium
includes a week of online presentations and discussions and culminates on
October 20 with a day of in-person/live streamed talks by invited speakers.  

Digital presentations will be hosted online during the week of October 15.
Asynchronous fora (discussion threads) will allow for question-and-answer
during the entire week. Details on formatting, hosting, and submitting final
presentations will be provided to accepted presenters. (See presentations
prepared for the 2016 L2DL symposium for previous examples of this format.)


Call for Papers:

Research studies, theoretical think pieces, and exemplary practices are all
equally welcome. We particularly encourage contributions to address this
year’s special theme, ''Participation, Equity and Inclusion,'' but
presentations that address other aspects of L2 Digital Literacies will be
considered as well. 

Possible topics for the special theme might include, but are not limited to
the following:

- Critical interrogations and empirical investigations into how digital
technologies shape and are shaped by social inequities  
- The role digital literacies can play in designing autonomous and agentive
learning as well as in creating spaces for inclusive and equitable
participation in formal and informal learning  
- New forms of participation enabled through technology-mediated communication
in formal language learning contexts, such as language courses and study
abroad programs
- Research methodologies and best practices for studying L2 digital
literacies, as well as critical reflections on the blind spots of these same
methodologies
- Teacher professional development and agency in relation to L2 digital
literacies

Additionally, presentations might engage with broader discussions related to
L2DL, including digital literacies…

- as multimodal
- as everyday and academic
- and informal learning
- and particular practices and platforms (i.e. digital gaming, social media,
telecollaboration)
- and questions of agency, authorship, & identity
- and multilingualism
- research methods
- teacher education

To submit a proposal, please send an email with your name, title, institution,
and a 350 word abstract describing your proposed presentation to
cercll at email.arizona.edu by the extended submission deadline of June 18, 2018.
