*Center for Applied Linguistics Research to Policy Webinar Series 2024 Call
for Proposals*

The Center for Applied Linguistics is embarking on the fourth year of the
Research to Policy webinar series
<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__t.e2ma.net_click_efvlam_qcx6d3_yu0vknb&d=DwMFAg&c=slrrB7dE8n7gBJbeO0g-IQ&r=0yxaqA_vmd4YZP6J7_FRgQ&m=VJHvmF-V4QlxlWgo27YfEC08AkyLu67aqOGQb5z4ijEKdhKmgw9627ParzznhxnA&s=bDU1J6IMSNX2hXXTz7P_wVZ8oVjYwexczQiI3C3u1kw&e=>,
and we are seeking proposals for speakers and topics. This series of short,
30-minute conversational webinars aims to communicate key elements of
language education research so that decision-makers can craft policy
informed by research findings. We are seeking speakers whose original
research is of relevance to the theme of our series for 2024, *Technologically
Mediated Learning in Multilingual Contexts*. Throughout the year, we will
explore the impact of technological innovation on learning in multilingual
settings, with a particular focus on AI. Topics may include, but are not
limited to, the following questions:

*Access*
- Who does (or does not) have access to technologies for language learning
or use?
- What policies are necessary to ensure that technological tools are
integrated into the education of multilingual learners?
- How can we ensure that technological tools address linguistic diversity?
In particular, how can we ensure that new technologies are inclusive of
Indigenous and endangered languages?
- How has technology evolved to support specific populations, for example,
multilingual students with disabilities, multilingual gifted students,
SLIFE students, and other populations?

*Representation*
- Who is (or is not) represented in the body of research around new
technologies? How do we guard against new technologies replicating existing
biases?
- What does culturally responsive technology design look like?

*Systems*
- How is technology helping to transform language learning and use?
- What impact does technology have on teacher/learner roles, the learning
dynamic, or the learning environment?
- What are key considerations regarding the use of technology for
translation?

*Structures*
- What policies increase the benefits and minimize potential harms of
different technological systems?
- What are the ethical considerations when using AI in language
assessments? In the creation of classroom materials for language education?

*Additional Information*
We welcome applications from teams of researchers and policymakers or other
educational decision-makers. Speakers are provided with an honorarium of
$250.

*How to Apply*
To be considered as a speaker, please provide a short statement of up to
300 words (references not included in the word count limit) that includes:

- A clear topic relevant to the theme
- Evidence that you have conducted original research around the topic (as
demonstrated by publications or a similar research record)
- A summary of research findings and the relevant policy recommendations
that emerge from those findings. (Note: you may include your own findings
and those of others in this summary.)

Please submit your statement to communications at cal.org with the subject
line “R2P 2024” by *January 11, 2024*.
