The 17th Annual Technology for Second Language Learning Conference
Iowa State University
September 6-7, 2019

Task-based language teaching (TBLT) is an approach to language education intended to prepare students for language use beyond the classroom by providing them with opportunities to perform carefully designed learning tasks simulating real-world tasks. The 17th Annual Technology for Second Language Learning Conference at Iowa State University will explore the role of technology in TBLT. Technology-mediation describes the full range of communication and learning tasks that learners engage in through the use of interactive multimedia, communication technologies, internet-based collaborations, virtual worlds and social media. The affordances of multimodal tools for communication and learning expand the potential task characteristics in ways that have implications for language performance and learning. The growing range of options for task design prompts engagement with second language acquisition theory and research. Proposals are invited for papers that present on any aspect of theory, research and practice of Technology-Mediated TBLT.

Prospective presenters should make their abstract submissions by April 22, 2019.
