The JALT CALL Journal is one of the leading peer-reviewed international CALL journals and is published three times per year. Following on from its very successful conference early June, which saw 126 presentations from nine countries, it is now publishing a special issue on the topic of ‘CALL and the Learner’. I have been asked to guest-edit a special issue of the journal and am now inviting contributions in one of the following areas:
- Learner motivation
- Computer-mediated communication (with a focus on the role of the learner)
- Learners’ beliefs in CALL
- (Materials development for) individualising instruction
- Social networking and computer games and second language acquisition
- Mobile-assisted language learning
- Supporting out-of-class language learning
- Teacher education for CALL
Submitted papers will need to make a link with the theme of the special issue which ties in with that of the AILA Research Network for CALL and the Learner, which was recently launched. More information about the network and its background can be found here: www.callandthelearner.info Prospective authors are encouraged to read the information about the aims and scope of the network in order to ensure their contributions fit with this theme.
Papers are due September 30 and need to be submitted to jaltcall at innovationinteaching dot org.
