Call for Papers:

Call for special issue of Calico 36.1: Critical CALL

Guest editors: 

Jesse Gleason, Southern Connecticut State University
Ruslan Suvorov, University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa

This special issue will explore the interplay between technology-mediated
language learning and issues of social injustice, power, and inequality. The
editors invite studies that utilize a critical CALL perspective to topics and
questions such as: 

- Technology, new/multi-literacies, and social inclusivity
- CALL in the era of globalization and the networked society
- Access to technology in developed vs. developing countries
- Social media and CALL
- Diffusion of CALL in restricted contexts/communities (e.g., Internet
restrictions/censorship in China) 
- What solutions can CALL provide to potentially negative impacts of
neoliberal policies on world language education, such as redistribution of
fiscal resources and disinvestment in public schooling, the positioning of
students as consumers rather than critical learners, and further
marginalization and exclusion of disadvantaged groups from quality education?
- What is the interplay between normalisation in CALL and social, political,
economic issues? - How can critical CALL expose and address these issues?
- How do technology-mediated pedagogical practices align or misalign with more
recent efforts toward promoting a socially-oriented, culturally-embedded view
of language and learning? What are the affordances and constraints of
institutional policies or existing national standards for CALL?
- What can we as CALL theorists and practitioners do to close the digital
divide and promote social inclusion? What changes in our praxis do we need to
make in order to better tackle social, political, and economic issues? What
technological, human, economic, and social resources are essential for this
mission?
- How are decisions about technology and language learning at the classroom
(micro) influenced by and in turn, how do they influence departmental (meso),
institutional, and broader social, political, and economic (macro) levels? How
do such decisions play a role in the (re)production of power and control? 
- Moving forward with critical CALL to promote social inclusivity will
cultivate a discussion of and take a critical stance on the role of technology
in broader meso- and macro-level language learning contexts in order to
problematize and propose solutions to issues of inequality, marginalization,
and social injustice. 

By bringing together a collection of articles in the above areas, it will move
forward with critical CALL in order to seek solutions to fundamental social,
political, and economic problems. Abstracts between 200-300 words can be
submitted as email attachment (word or pdf format only please) to
gleasonj8 at southernct.edu and rsuvorov at hawaii.edu by July 15, 2017. Please note
that abstract acceptance does not guarantee publication of the submitted
manuscript. All manuscripts will be subject to a double blind peer review
process.
