steLLLa 2.0 - Upcoming events http://stellla.mixxt.eu/networks/events/index This feed shows all upcoming events in the network steLLLa 2.0. EUROCALL 2010 - 08/09/2010-11/09/2010   EUROCALL 2010 will be held in Bordeaux, France,
      8-11 September 2010
      Conference main theme and title:
      Languages, cultures and virtual communities

EUROCALL is back in France after 11 years. In 1999, the University of Besançon hosted the conference, and the central theme, as some of you may remember, was evaluation (Evaluation of language skills and language testing). Since then, several conference themes have reflected progress in the areas of
a) research conducted into information and communication technologies applied to the teaching and learning of languages (CALL),
b) technology itself: interdisciplinarity, new literacies, new pedagogical approaches, facilitating autonomy, incorporating ICT in study programmes, mastering multimedia, new competencies and social spaces, working together, etc. All these themes are testimony to the vitality of EUROCALL.

EUROCALL 2010 will be organised by the University of Bordeaux and steered by the University of Bordeaux IV – IUFM, under the auspices of ALSIC and ACEDLE, two associations of researchers involved in ICT and language teaching. The conference will take place in the premises of Bordeaux II in the city centre. Bordeaux, which received UNESCO world heritage status in 2009, is situated in the heart of the wine region and is only an hour’s drive from the most beautiful beaches on the Atlantic coast.

In real life as in the activities that learners and teachers undertake, the many powerful tools now available allow networked communication and sharing of information.
The theme of EUROCALL 2010 will therefore be Networked Structures and Virtual Communities in CALL. The emphasis will be placed on relationships – structures and communities connected by languages and cultures and functioning on a cooperative basis.

The sub-themes of the conference, underpinning the current topics of interest and concern in this area, will be the following:

        - Learner communities, the web and corpora
        - Distance learning, collaborative learning and mobile learning
        - Managing multimedia environments
        - Assessment, feedback and guidance in schools and universities
        - Corpora: compilating, sorting and studying corpora that integrate online communication
        - Intercultural competence and language learning
        - Online multimodal communication and language learning
        - Research methodologies and action research
        - Virtual worlds
        - Formal and informal language learning
        - Networked language learning in in adult education
        - Building international/regional partnerships for networked language learning
        - New language learning communities
        - Pedagogical changes brought about by ICT integration
        - Innovative e-learning solutions for languages

We look forward to welcoming you to the University of Bordeaux!

Technology is inexorably moving forward – ubiquity is in itself a term which is forming around the technology based applications which see us being projected inside this digital era. m-Learning is an area which is still being developed. Many campuses with advanced wireless connections are already making use of the benefits which can be reaped from having education which is 'Open' and Portable, anywhere, anytime.
