JALTCALL 2026 lands at Konan University (Nishinomiya Campus), June
12–14, 2026.
Under the theme “Prevail or Fail?”, JALTCALL 2026 invites educators,
researchers, and technologists to explore how digital tools,
pedagogical innovations, and AI are reshaping language teaching and
learning in an age of rapid change and uncertainty.
We welcome presentations that critically examine both successes and
setbacks in technology-enhanced language education: projects that
worked, those that didn’t, and lessons learned in between. Topics may
include experimental classroom applications, data-driven research, AI
and VR integration, assessment and feedback innovations, teacher
training, learner autonomy, or institutional implementation.
Whether your project prevailed, failed, or continues to evolve, we
encourage honest reflection, rigorous analysis, and forward-looking
discussion on what “success” really means in the CALL field today.
Call For Proposals opens Nov 1st, 2025 and closes Jan 31st, 2026.
