Meeting Description: 

The third conference on Technological Innovation for Specialized Linguistic
Domains (TISLID18), Languages for Digital Lives and Cultures, is to be held at
Ghent University, Belgium, 24-26 May 2018.

It will be hosted by the Ghent University-based research groups MULTIPLES
(http://research.flw.ugent.be/en/multiples) and LT3
(https://www.lt3.ugent.be/), as well as by the UNED-based ATLAS research group
(http://atlas.uned.es).

This event offers a great opportunity to interchange knowledge and
experiences, both in a formal and informal, creative way, regarding
language-based digital realities. This new forum aims to promote academic
debate on digital language technologies, with a special focus on their
potential for promoting communication and (lifelong) learning. 
 
The conference will include keynotes, paper presentations, posters, a
roundtable debate (on Thursday and Friday), and workshops (on Saturday).

Our keynote speakers are excellent communicators and storytellers and renowned
for their work, which combines research and development at the forefront of
technological and didactical innovation:

Inge de Waard (Open University): MOOCs: Stuck between Realities of Informal
Learning and Myths of Personalisation
Aga Palalas (University of Toronto): Mindfulness for human-centered digital
learning

Workshops on Saturday are open for both academic researchers and foreign
language teaching professionals:

practice with PYTHON.
Cristina Calle (Complutense University of Madrid) & Ana Ibáñez (UNED):  New
