The conference will include keynotes, paper presentations, posters, a
roundtable debate (on Thursday and Friday), and workshops (on Saturday).

Keynote speakers:

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:
Patrick Goethals (Ghent University): Boost your language research and teaching
practice with PYTHON.
Cristina Calle (Complutense University of Madrid) & Ana Ibáñez (UNED):  New
technologies and their application to new trends in language learning:
autonomous, collaborative, ludic.
