ReCALL Journal Special Issue: Call for Papers

CALL and CMC Teacher Education research: enduring questions, emerging methodologies

Submission deadline: 31 October 2010
Publication date: September 2011

Guest editors:
Mirjam Hauck, The Open University, UK
Nicolas Guichon, Université de Lyon 2, Laboratoire ICAR, France

While the use of digital technologies in language education has been growing over the last 15 years, pedagogical developments and methodological reflection have not kept pace. This special issue of ReCALL will address enduring questions in research on teacher education in computer-assisted language learning (CALL) and computer-mediated communication (CMC) and methodological approaches, both traditional and emerging.

The issue will provide an overview of established research in the field as well as reporting on more recent areas of study. These focus, for example, on the teacher role in collaborative online language learning, and e-literacy and semio-pedagogical skills required for harnessing the potential of multimodal environments and tools.

The contributions will also consider practical and ethical issues related to online pre- and in-service language teacher education and tutor training. The overall aim is to take stock of the current state of affairs in research on teacher education in CALL and CMC-based language teaching and to map out a tentative research agenda for the next few years.

CONFERENCE THEME :
Language Teaching and Learning: Meeting the Realities of a Changing World.
The Centre for Languages and Translation at Universiti Sains Malaysia is pleased to announce the Third International Language Learning Conference (3rd ILLC) 2008. The 3rd ILLC 2008 will bring together teachers, educators and scholars to discuss, evaluate and offer new perspectives and directions in language teaching and learning in a rapidly changing world.

Current global developments have necessitated a re-examination and revision of past and current practices in the light of classroom pedagogy and methodology. This calls for a paradigm shift in the way language teaching and learning is conceived and conceptualized as a rapidly changing world creates new challenges and demands that impact on classroom practices and needs. There are new demands on language teachers with regards to, for example, the needs of learners, new technologies, cross-cultural factors, methodologies and pedagogy, critical thinking vis-à-vis the k-economy, and multi-literacies.

It is imperative, therefore, that educators and institutions take cognizance of global developments and changing needs and integrate them into current pedagogical and methodological frameworks such that, on the one hand, the specificities of local communities are catered for, while on the other hand, they are equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills to meet the challenges of and engage effectively with a borderless, rapidly changing world scenario.

The 3rd ILLC 2008 therefore aims to address the above points by providing a platform for educators, institutions and interested parties to discuss and highlight the needs and concomitant changes that need to be made in order that we may address the realities of a changing world and prepare learners to meet these changes. We welcome contributions in the form of paper presentations, workshops and poster sessions on the following themes/sub-themes:

Moodle & Google for autonomous learning

I have been using Moodle on a small scale, seeking to create effective blended learning experiences and to foster learner autonomy. A teacher need not fully explore Moodle's capabilities to understand how even just a few Moodle modules - quizzes, forums and glossaries - can greatly enhance learning. Currently I am using certain Google services with Moodle to further facilitate learning/teaching. This presentation will focus on how teachers can effectively use these tools to enhance learning.
