The editor, associate editors and editorial board of the CALL Journal extend a cordial invitation to attend Antwerp CALL 2010, the XIVth International CALL Research Conference.

Keynote speakers Antonie Alm (University of Otago, New Zealand), Maarten Vansteenkiste (Ghent University, Belgium) and Ema Ushioda (Warwick University, United Kingdom) will provide an overview of literature on motivation, an introduction to Self-Determination Theory and a presentation of the L2 SELF model. 

You are hereby invited to present your current CALL activities, highlighting aspects such as:

  • the impact of ICT on motivation;
  • designing  for motivation;
  • the role of ICT in the analysis of motivation;
  • the relationship between motivation and proficiency level;
  • learning styles;
  • anxiety;
  • technophobia/technophilia;
  • self-models;
  • teacher motivation.

We welcome proposals that address any of the above or related topics, as well as those involving studies of other individual or group differences that may directly or indirectly influence motivation to use technology effectively in language teaching and learning.

Besides these topics, panels and discussion groups will also tackle questions like:

  • How to transform your daily work into research ?
  • How to carry out collaborative research ?
  • How to get published ?

Deadline for submissions: 15 February 2010
