Learner Stategies in CALL
Friday, September 22 and Saturday, September 23, 2006
The Gallery Room, Memorial Union, Iowa State University

Faculty in the applied linguistics program in the Department of English are planning an invitational conference focusing on issues associated with the strategies that learners use to direct their second language learning when using multimedia CALL, the Internet and other electronic resources.

The following questions illustrate some of the themes at the intersection of TSLL and learner strategies:
- How can teachers help to teach learners strategies for effective use of electronic materials for second language learning?
- What does theory, research and practice tell us about effective use of resources?
- How can learner strategies be assessed in on-line resources?
- How can learner strategies be implemented and addressed in on-line resources?

Consistent with the graduate program emphasis on technology and language teaching in the applied linguistics, this conference will bring together concepts and practices that hold promise for developing fruitful synergy between second language acquisition and computer-assisted language learning. Beyond the applied linguistics program, the conference should also be of interest to faculty and graduate students in Rhetoric & Professional Communication, Foreign Languages & Literatures, and Curriculum & Instruction.
