Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics; Computational Linguistics 

Call Deadline: 05-May-2016 

Meeting Description:

As new technology-mediated forms of interaction, learning, and meaning making
have increasingly become integrated into all domains of life, from everyday to
academic, foreign language educators and researchers have embraced the concept
of Digital Literacies to frame new understandings and pedagogies. At the same
time, the field of CALL (Computer-assisted Language Learning) has also evolved
to consider new technologies as tutors, tools, environments, and ecologies for
language learning. Theoretical, methodological, and pedagogical practices have
differed, even as goals align. 

This year’s DLL2C symposium, “Digital Literacies and Technology-Enhanced
Language Learning: Interdisciplinary Intersections and Interactions,” will be
co-convened with AZ-CALL, a conference that brings together CALL researchers
and practitioners from across the region. The joint symposium will be
sponsored by CERCLL (the Center for Educational Resources in Culture, Language
and Literacy) with support from units at the University of Arizona and Arizona
State University. On October 8 there will be live webcast and in-person
events, including several panels and keynotes by Heather Lotherington of York
University, and Steve Thorne of Portland State University/University of
Groningen. 

Digital presentations will be hosted online during the week of October 3.
Asynchronous fora (discussion threads) will allow for question-and-answer for
the entire week, and presenters may conduct synchronous chat at designated
times as well. Details on formatting, hosting, and submitting final
presentations will be provided to accepted presenters. Presentations from the
2014 event may be viewed online at the above URL.


Call for Abstracts:

Research studies, theoretical discussions, and exemplary practices are all
equally welcome. While the special theme of the joint symposium is
“Interdisciplinary Intersections and Interactions”, presentations need not
address both DL and CALL, and may focus on a topic in one area. These might
include, but are not limited to:

- Digital Literacies
- Computer-Assisted Language Learning:
as multimodal
as everyday and academic
and informal learning
and digital gaming
and social media
and authorship (blogs, fan fiction, digital storytelling, etc.)
agency, and identity
and multilingualism
and language ecology
competences, and proficiencies
access and digital divides
- Assessment 
- Autonomous and informal learning
- Blended and online learning
- CMC
- Corpus informed research or pedagogy
- Digital Gaming
- Mobile language learning
- MOOCs
- Research methodology
- Social networking 
- Teacher education
- Telecollaboration

To submit a proposal, please send an email with your name, title, institution,
and a 350 word abstract describing your proposed presentation to
cercll at email.arizona.edu. Please see the website for more details.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and 
as such can receive donations through the eLinguistics Foundation, 
which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal 
Tax number is 45-4211155. These donations can be offset against 
your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). 
For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial 
advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that 
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization. 
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department 
and sending us a form that the eLinguistics Foundation fills in and 
returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative 
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if 
your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
