Digital Literacies in and beyond the L2 Classroom: A Hybrid Symposium on Research and Practice
Hosted by the Center for Educational Resources in Culture, Language, and Literacy (CERCLL), University of Arizona
October 6-11, 2014
Keynote: Richard Kern, University of California at Berkeley

This symposium will explore the wide array of practices captured by the concept of digital literacies from social networking to gaming to fan fiction to micropublishing as they relate to particular circumstances of learning and living in a second or additional language and culture.

The organizers are currently seeking submissions for the digital poster session. Since poster presentations will be online, presenters need not be physically present. Presentations should be in slideshow or similar online format, possibly with voiceover annotation, and should take approximately 15-20 minutes for individuals to view. Posters will be hosted online during the week of October 6, 2014, to be viewed by all registered conference attendees (registration will be free). Asynchronous fora (discussion threads) will allow for question-and-answer for the entire week, and presenters may conduct synchronous chat at designated times as well. Details on formatting, hosting, and submitting final posters will be provided to accepted presenters. Research studies, theoretical discussions, and exemplary practices are all equally welcome. Topics might include, but are not limited to, digital literacies…
