Call for Papers – C6: TELL
ICCE 2024 Sub-Conference on Technology Enhanced Language Learning (TELL)
This sub-conference focuses on advances and emerging trends in Technology Enhanced Language Learning (TELL). The advancements in technology, especially in generative artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and mixed reality (MR), have transformed the way we learn languages and provided new opportunities for innovative learning design and teaching practices. The TELL sub-conference invites submissions on the rationale, theories, pedagogies, and best practices for the use of digital technologies to enhance first/second/foreign/additional language teaching and learning. Researchers investigating theoretically underpinned innovative practices to enhance language instruction by integrating established and emerging technologies are strongly encouraged to submit their work to the TELL sub-conference. The goals of the TELL sub-conference are to engage scholars, researchers, and practitioners in sharing and discussing their latest research in the use of technology in first/second/foreign/additional language education, share insights into the design, development, evaluation, and enhancement of technology enhanced language learning environments, and provide directions for future research collaborations and ongoing improvement of TELL practices. We welcome high quality conceptual and theoretical as well as empirical contributions in relation to accomplished research or work in progress under the sub-conference areas. The scope of the TELL sub-conference includes but is not limited to the following topics:
