EuroCALL Teacher Education SIG Call for Book Chapter Abstracts

Language teaching instruction has evolved tremendously over the past two
decades. The changes lie within the evident increase of using technology in
formal educational settings. Universities, schools and language institutions
across the globe are using technology as a tool for teaching and learning
foreign languages. There has also been an emergence of many conferences and
organisations that focus on this field, such as EuroCALL. This leads to a
reform in the approaches of prospective teachers’ preparation and
developmental programmes for educators. 

The EuroCALL Teacher Education SIG, in collaboration with the Cyprus
University of Technology Language Centre, invite original contributions from
scholars in the field of Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) and
Professional Development for the compilation of the edited volume
‘Professional Development in CALL: a selection of papers’. 

To address the above, the book addresses the following broad themes: 

- Professional Development in CALL
- Using Technology in primary/ secondary/ tertiary education
- Elearning facilitators
- The Use of Social Media 
- MALL from the teacher’s perspective 
- Action Research in CALL
- Peer Assisted Collaborative Learning and the use of technology
- Teacher Education Programmes in CALL
- Pre-Service / In-Service Research in CALL
- Distance learning 
- Materials design in CALL
- Managing multimedia environments

Please send an extended abstract (approximately 500 words) outlining your
chapter proposal by February 16, 2018 to chief editor Dr. Christina Nicole
Giannikas (christina.giannikas at cut.ac.cy) providing the following information:

- The topic and outline of your chapter 
- Keywords 
- How your chapter will contribute to the literature 
- The form your proposed chapter will take (e.g., discussion of empirical
research, theoretical piece, etc.) 
- References
- A short biographical note (no more than 50 words) of the contributor(s) 

Your abstract should clearly indicate the unique contribution that your
chapter will make. 

Decisions on the chapter abstracts will be communicated to authors by March
16, 2018, with those successful invited to submit full manuscripts. Completed
chapters must be approximately 4,000 words in length and due in their final
form on November 16, 2018.
