LANGUAGE LEARNING IN COMPUTER MEDIATED COMMUNITIES (LLCMC) CONFERENCE
October 11-13, 2009, Honolulu, Hawaii http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/llcmc/

Once, computers were seen as thinking machines or electronic tutors. Now the
computer has become one of many devices that people use to form virtual
communities of all kinds. In the field of language education, computer
mediated communication (CMC) enables students to interact with one another
free of space and time constraints and to participate in communities of
learning with their counterparts in the target culture. The Language
Learning in Computer Mediated Communities (LLCMC) Conference explores the
use of computers as a medium of communication in language learning
communities.
