The 27th EUROCALL conference will be hosted by UCLouvain in collaboration with KU Leuven, in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, from 28 to 31 August 2019. This annual conference is the main annual get together for practitioners and researchers in computer-assisted language learning (CALL) in Europe.
‘CALL and complexity’ is the guiding thread for EUROCALL 2019. This theme is to be seen as constituting a challenge to be embraced. Languages are known to be intrinsically complex linguistically and so are the determinants of learning (additional) languages. We’ll be embracing the complexity issue collectively with the EUROCALL community and you can join in thanks to Virtually Connecting!
Thematic strands
- Corpora and language learning / Data-driven learning (DDL)
- Intelligent CALL (ICALL) / Natural language processing applications in CALL
- Complexity, accuracy, fluency (CAF) framework of proficiency in CALL research and applications
- Measuring and developing linguistic complexity in CALL
- Task complexity in CALL
- Digital literacies
- Digital games-based language learning
- Mobile assisted language learning (MALL)
- The design and practice of LMOOCs
- Telecollaboration and CMC
- Teacher education and professional development in CALL
- Applying SLA principles in CALL
