Possible topics include, but are not limited to: * a comprehensive literature review of technology and listening comprehension * theories or theoretical frameworks for aspects of computer-based listening * research on the link between computer-based activities that promote listening comprehension and those that promote language acquisition * studies on the utilization of authentic listening materials on the Web * studies of the efficacy of technology-based meaning aids (captions, glosses, graphics, translations, etc.) to support comprehension and acquisition * studies of the use of technology for the co-development of listening and reading proficiency * studies of the impact of listening and handheld technologies (mobile phones, MP3 players, etc.) on comprehension * research into the use of DVDs for language learning * computer-based testing of listening proficiency Please send an e-mail of intent with a 250-word abstract by May 1, 2005, to llt-editors@hawaii.edu. |
