Meeting Description:

The workshop is concerned with digital approaches to teaching and learning
classical and other
historical languages. Computer-assisted language learning (CALL/iCALL) is
becoming more and
more frequent in teaching and learning modern languages. At the same time,
more and more high quality historical corpora and other resources are becoming
available. This workshop aims at
bridging the gap between CALL and historical corpora.


Call for Papers:

The workshop is concerned with digital approaches to teaching and learning
classical and other historical languages. Computer-assisted language learning
(CALL/iCALL) is becoming more and more frequent in teaching and learning
modern languages. At the same time, more and more high quality historical
corpora and other resources are becoming available. This workshop aims at
bridging the gap between CALL and historical corpora. 

By ‘historical languages’ we mean languages or language stages that are not
currently spoken and are, therefore, learned for different reasons than modern
languages. We can distinguish between three groups of users. The first group
includes scholars in fields such as linguistics, history, literature,
medicine, and law who need ways of accessing, analyzing, and evaluating
historical texts. The second group is comprised of (high-school or university)
students who are learning these languages as part of their curriculum. The
third group includes teachers who are interested in locating exercises or
examples from original texts. All three groups need to have ready access to a
wide variety of texts, but the ways in which they interact with these texts
will vary according to their proficiency levels and interests. For our
workshop, we welcome contributions that deal with any aspect of
computer-assisted language learning for historical languages and the specific
affordances of blended learning in this area. We want to especially encourage
submissions that make use of historical corpora. 

Invited speakers:

Professor Peter J. Anderson, Grand Valley State University, Michigan
Prof. Dr. W. Detmar Meurers, Eberhard Karls Universität, Tübingen
