TitleOnline Discussion: The Future of CALL
Body
Online Fielded Discussion "THE FUTURE OF CALL"
31st January – 5th February
IATEFL COMP-SIG
TESOL CALL-IS

“Where has Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) been, where is it
now and where is it going?” (Bax, 2002)

The questions raised by Stephen Bax and other scholars are still very timely.
Are we satisfied with the development that CALL has taken? How would we
like CALL to develop in the future? Should specific areas be given priority in
CALL-related research? The above questions are but a few among those
which often puzzle our minds. What better time to discuss the future than at
the beginning of a new year.

Please join the IATEFL COMP-SIG and the TESOL CALL-IS in discussing
thoughts, opinions, beliefs and hopes and aspirations for the future of CALL.
This online discussion will take place on the electronic list of IATEFL COMP
SIG and will be fielded by Stephen Bax (Canterbury Christ Church University
College, UK).

The discussion will take place from 31st January to 5th February. Food for
thought is available at:
http://www.iateflcompsig.org.uk/future.htm#thefutureofcall
where Stephen Bax’s article “CALL-past, present and future” and Mark
Warschauer’s and Deborah Healey’s article “Computers and Language
Learning: An overview “are available.

Make sure you join the IATEFL COMP-SIG list so as to take part in the
discussion. You can join by sending a blank email to IATEFLComputerSig
subscribe@yahoogroups.com

Looking forward to “seeing” you there and “listening” to what you have to say!
