- 2nd CALL FOR PAPERS -
Technology for Second Language Learning
2nd annual conference

Interpreting Data in CALL Research
Saturday, October 2, 2004
Memorial Union, Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa

Keynote speaker
Paul Gruba
Senior Lecturer, Horwood Language Centre, The University of Melbourne

Research investigating the use of technology for language learning relies on
multiple forms of data collection to address theoretical and practical issues,
but methods for analysis pose challenges for researchers. What methods of
data collection, analysis and interpretation can help to address the specific
needs of computer-assisted language learning (CALL) developers and
users? Papers presented at this conference will seek to address this question
by exploring approaches to research on CALL.

Researchers in CALL and CALL-related disciplines are invited to submit
abstracts for papers on approaches to data interpretation in CALL research.
Specific areas of interest include but are not limited to the following:

* Description of human-computer interaction through interpretation of
video, concurrent and retrospective verbal protocols, screen-capture data,
and tracking
* Approaches for operational assessment of individual differences relevant
to the use of CALL
* Frameworks for integrating multiple sources of data concerning the value
of CALL for L2 learning
* Measurement issues pertaining to assessment of language and other
relevant constructs in CALL research

Abstracts (200 - 400 words) must be submitted electronically by September 8,
2004 to Volker Hegelheimer (volkerh@iastate.edu)

Hosted by the Program in Teaching English as a Second Language/Applied
Linguistics, Department of English, and the CALL Club, Iowa State University,
Ames, Iowa.
