CALL for THE 21st CENTURY
To be held at ESADE, Barcelona, Spain from June 30th - July 2nd, 2000
This conference aims to provide a "state of the art" overview of the many
uses of computers to assist language learners by drawing together some of
the world's leading CALL practitioners.
The application of computers to various aspects of the language learning
process has existed for more than 30 years. Applications have been made to
all the language skills: writing, reading, speaking, listening, and use
been made of a variety of computer technologies. The arrival of multimedia
and the Internet has caused an enormous growth of interest in CALL, and in
the last ten years we have seen a growing body of research into the ways in
which computers can best facilitate language acquisition.
Has CALL finally come of age? Will new technologies change the way we
teach and learn a foreign language? Will they change the way we train our
language teachers?
The conference aims to provide participants with both an authoritative
overview of where we are in CALL from some of those at the forefront in the
world of CALL, together with some answers to questions about what the
future holds.
Proposals for contributions to the conference should be sent in the format
