Dear JALT Associate Member,
The JALT Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) Special Interest Group (SIG) is happy to REannounce its upcoming annual conference. After much consideration, we have decided to make JALTCALL2020 an online-only conference with the original theme Teaching with Tech. In other words, the conference will go ahead on the weekend of June 6-7 but will be online rather than in Hirosaki.
Keynote speaker
Charlie Browne
Professor of Applied Linguistics and TESOL at Meiji Gakuin University.
Charlie is a specialist in Second Language Vocabulary Acquisition and Extensive Reading, especially as they apply to online learning environments, and has written dozens of research articles, books, and textbooks over his 30 years in Japan. He has also developed many free online ER/EL and vocabulary learning sites, tools and apps, sharing his knowledge through countless presentations, seminars and workshops around the world.
The JALT CALL SIG members would like to invite your representatives to take part in our online 2020 Conference. This annual international event is an excellent opportunity to share your items with an interested audience. We expect our dynamic program of presentations to draw more than 200 participants. More information about the conference is posted online at https://conference2020.jaltcall.org/
