   - Legal Issues of Student Privacy and ADA Compliance
   - Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL)

*SESSION TYPES*

*Workshops* (3 hours) provide an opportunity for hands-on exploration and
application of real-world activities and/or strategies using instructional
technology to demonstrate knowledge, skills, and proficiency growth in
world languages.

*Panels* (50 minutes) bring together participants working separately but in
an area of common focus. Panels include topics in areas of research,
theory, and practice. In order to allow time for audience questions and
interaction, panels should include no more than four members. Panelists
will be permitted to present remotely provided that logistical details are
handled by members of the panel who will be attending the conference in
person.

*Presentations* (25 or 50 minutes) highlight the work of individuals and
small teams. Presentations should provide an introduction to a specific
problem and a description/demonstration of a proposed solution.
Presentations may be formal in nature (50 minutes) or presented in a more
casual, conversational “quick talk” style (25 minutes). Presentations
provide specific strategies and activities implementing instructional
technology in world language learning contexts. Presenters should allow
time for audience questions and interaction during the allotted time.

*Poster Presentations *are intended to be highly interactive, with the
opportunity for the presenter to exchange ideas one-on-one or in small
groups with attendees during the designated time. Posters (digital or
printed) showcase the implementation of instructional technology in world
languages that demonstrates strategies, activities, student-generated
products, and innovations. If your poster is digital, your laptop should be
charged in advance and operated on battery power since electrical outlets
may not be available.

*Exhibitor Sessions* may promote a product or program for sale by
presentation or demonstration through the lens of some pedagogical purpose.
This should not equate to a sales pitch, but instead feature a product or
program as it can serve the technology and language learning needs of
participants.
*When submitting a proposal, you will sign in/create an account on the
IALLT web portal and provide the information below:*

   - *Speaker Details:* Name, email address, and affiliation (academic
   institution or business). All the presenters (including second and other
   additional presenters) are required to register and participate in the
   conference.
   - *Session Type*
   - *Session Title*
   - *Abstract:* No more than 200 words. This will appear in the conference
   app and also be read as part of the selection process for the conference.
   - *Descriptive Tags:* You will have the option to select up to three
   descriptive tags based on the suggested topics above.
