TitleCall for Papers: Language Learning and Technology
Body
Theme: Technology and Listening Comprehension
Guest Editor: Philip Hubbard

Developments in multimedia software and the Web offer a range of new
opportunities for learners to develop listening proficiency in the target
language. Multimedia programs combine digital audio, graphics, and video
with an array of meaning aids and afford a high level of individual control,
while the Web makes it possible for easy access to an assortment of listening
experiences, including exposure to an unprecedented selection of unfiltered
native speaker materials. This special issue of Language Learning &
Technology aims at providing a variety of perspectives in this area through
research articles and theoretical discussions in the domains of technology
based comprehension, language acquisition, and testing.

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
