InSTIL 2000, the first symposium organised by the InSTIL group "Integrating
Speech Technology in (Language) Learning" will be held on 29 August to 30
August 2000 at the University of Abertay Dundee, Scotland. The Keynote
Speakers will be Ron Cole, Kathleen Egan, Eric Keller, Steve La Rocca,
Dominic Massaro and Brigitte Zellner.
The two-day Symposium is supported by the InSTIL SIG three parent
associations, CALICO, EUROCALL and ISCA (International Speech Communication
Association). It builds on the excellence and excitement of the ISCA
workshop STiLL 98 , held in Marholmen, Sweden. The Symposium runs as a
satellite event to the CALL Conference, EUROCALL 2000 (31/8 to 2/9/2000).
Please note that no identical paper will be allowed to be presented in both
events. If submitting to both, please indicate your preference in terms of
inclusion.  Some 200 submissions have now been received for EUROCALL 2000,
so expressing an early interest in participation in InSTIL 2000 is advised

hands-on workshops and sessions.
