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

(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).

technological and didactical innovation:

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
