In response to the global demand for research diversity, ICCE2012 will be a
meta-conference with seven coherently interrelated sub-conferences for the
dissemination and sharing of research in the field of Computers in
Education. The sub-conference on Technology Enhanced Language Learning
(TELL) invites contributions that concern rationale, theories, pedagogies,
and best practices for the use of technology as a vehicle for excellent
second/foreign language teaching and learning. This sub-conference is
dedicated to serving as a platform where sharing novel theories and
innovative practices for modern technology-mediated pedagogies in ESL/EFL
settings will be strongly encouraged and anticipated. The goals are to
stimulate discussion among TELL scholars/practitioners about the benefits
and drawbacks of current practices in the pedagogical use of technology in
language education, and to provide insights into the feasibility of
technology use as a delivery mode for successful language instruction in the
modern era. The rapid advancement of technology has transformed our daily
lives and has open many new doors for instructional designs and curriculum
materials that engage language students and improve learning. The synergy
resulting from this sub-conference will result in new understandings of
trends and strategies that provide directions for future research
collaborations, and the resulting ongoing improvement of guidance for TELL
practitioners.
The scope of the TELL sub-conference includes but is not limited to the
following topics:
?TELL theoretical foundations and perspectives
?Hardware and Software technologies applicable to TELL, such as:
Established and emerging TELL tools, applications, and platforms
Use of multiple TELL platforms, mobile technology for TELL
