 Full Title: International Journal of Computer-Assisted Language Learning and Teaching (IJCALLT) 


Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics; Psycholinguistics 

Call Deadline: 31-Mar-2015 

As the acquisition of language is closely associated with the ability to
produce intelligible speech, computer-assisted technologies have been included
in many language and/or literacy development programs offered by healthcare
providers, covering a wide variety of disorders ranging from specific language
and cognitive impairments, which obviously interfere with or delay the mastery
of language skills, to blindness or visual impairment and mobility
impairments, which limit the ability to move purposefully within a physical
environment and which make regular participation of the programs at the
hospital a challenge.

However, in contrast to a growing interest in the use of computer technologies
in healthcare settings, to many healthcare providers, these technologies are
still considered costly, though if implemented carefully, they could create a
more flexible and responsive approach for the learners while undergoing
medical procedures and treatments.

This special issue of the International Journal of Computer-Assisted Language
Learning and Teaching seeks to expand awareness of the use of
computer-assisted technologies in language and/or literacy development
programs offered by healthcare providers. Submissions of papers focusing
specifically on practical use of these technologies in language and/or
literacy development programs designed for learners having or developing
specific disorders, as well as their benefits and barriers when used in
healthcare setting, are highly encouraged.

Recommended Topics

Topics to be discussed in this special issue include (but are not limited to)
the following:
- Experimental practices
- Successful collaborative and/or interactive learning program
- Role of Instructor and Learner
- Open courseware and open online courses
- Designing, applying, or evaluating computer-based language learning
- The use of computer-assisted technologies with specific design tools
- Computer assisted technologies to support different needs or preferred
learning styles
- Computer assisted technologies for specific language skill development
- Healthcare provider policy and other challenges related to the quality and
accessibility of computer assisted language learning
- New forms of computer-aided design
- Transmedia practice and computer assisted composition
- Computer-assisted design and participatory simulation
- Computer-assisted technologies as facilitator for storytelling practices and
techniques
- Computer-assisted technologies in language remediation program
- Computer-assisted intervention
- Computer-assisted technologies for critically ill patients
