URL: http://dtrip.ice.ntnu.edu.tw/CFP/TELL_CFP.htm

November 28, 2011 ~ December 2, 2011, Chiang Mai, Thailand

Held in conjunction with The 19th International Conference on Computers in Education (ICCE2011)

Description

The aim of this workshop is to provide a forum where international participants can share knowledge on the technology enhanced language learning (TELL). With the integration of pedagogy theories and careful design, TELL has the capability of providing EFL learners with favorable conditions for language learning, such as independent and targeted skill practice, immediate corrective feedback, portability, social interactivity, context sensitivity, connectivity, individuality, and immediacy. As various kinds of exploration and implications have been emerging, more efforts should be devoted to make further understanding about the reasonable integration of language learning theories and latest technology development. The two-hour workshop will provide a forum where international participants can share knowledge, experiences and concerns on related issues in TELL, understand new era trends and strategies, as well as explore directions for future research collaborations.
