University of Social Sciences in Warsaw, School of English

is happy to announce a call for papers for

*the first PL-CALL conference*

to be held on 9-10 May 2013





The new media have long become an essential part of the foreign language
classroom, and Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL), once a rarity –
if not an oddity – is now becoming a standard in schools. What follows is a
growing interest in the research into the effectiveness of CALL as well as
building bridges between the new media and traditional methodology. Such
efforts, both on the part of ongoing teachers as well as academics, which
have become increasingly popular worldwide, seem to be rare and dispersed
in Poland. Our conference is an attempt to amend the situation in the realm
of research by bringing together the results of CALL studies carried out in
Poland as well as shedding light at foreign research into the new media in
language education.





*Keynote speakers: *

Melinda Dooly, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona

Mirjam Hauck, Department of Languages, Open University, United Kingdom

Andreas Müller-Hartman, Pädagogische Hochschule, Heidelberg, Germany
