2012 - 15th International CALL Research Conference

The 15th International CALL Research Conference
25 to 27 May 2012
Taichung, Taiwan

Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) is an intercontinental and
interdisciplinary journal (SSCI) which leads the field in its dedication to
all matters associated with the use of computers in language (L1 and L2)
learning, teaching, and testing. It provides a forum to discuss the
discoveries in the field and to exchange experience and information about
existing techniques. The scope of the journal is intentionally wide-ranging
and embraces a multitude of disciplines.

The editor, associate editors and editorial board of Computer Assisted
Language Learning: an International Journal (Taylor and Francis) extend a
cordial invitation to you to attend the XVth International CALL Research
Conference at Providence University, Taichung, Taiwan, May 25-27, 2012.

The series of biennial conferences was launched at Exeter University by Keith
Cameron, former editor and now honorary editor. Jozef Colpaert took over the
editorship in 2002, and has, since then, organized five ‘Antwerp CALL
Conferences’. Given the nature and scope of the CALL Journal
(interdisciplinary and intercontinental), this year we are embarking on a new
path to expanding the conference venues beyond western Europe.

Our 2012 conference will be held in a country where CALL activity is dynamic
and innovative as can be seen in the contributions to the Journal. Providence
University, Taichung, will offer a perfect venue, presenting a new and
fascinating locale for regular attendees of the Conference, while providing
enhanced opportunities for CALL colleagues in China, Japan and South-East
Asia, along with Australia, to participate.

Keynote speakers will include Rick Kern (UC Berkeley) and Hsien-Chin Liou
(National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan) who will introduce the conference
theme: THE MEDIUM MATTERS

The deadline for abstracts/proposals is 30 November 2011.
