[PL-CALL]

Dear Friends and Colleagues,



Enclosed please find the conference call for Poland's first CALL (Computer
Assisted Language Learning) conference - PL-CALL, which is to be held in
Warsaw, Poland, 9-10 May 2013. We will be thrilled if you yourselves attend
the conference. You may also - at will - spread the word about this event
to whoever you think may be interested.



Owing to the generosity of the University of Social Sciences in Warsaw
(PL-CALL host institution), we have been subsidised and are happy to
announce the new, *lower conference fee*. Consequently, the conference
registration is extended *until 31 January 2013*.

PL-CALL CONFERENCE

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.
