We are inviting proposals for contributions to the AILA Symposium on CALL and the Learner. Each paper will be given 20 minutes and there will be time for questions and discussion at the end. To submit a proposal, please send a 250 word abstract to callandthelearner at gmail dot com
You do not need to submit your paper to AILA, as ReN symposium papers are vetted separately. You can find more information about the conference here: http://www.aila2011.org/en/default.asp

JALTCALL
The theme for the JALTCALL 2009 conference held at Toyo Gakuen University in Tokyo was ‘Expanding Learner Potential – It’s Your CALL,’ and this was selected with the AILA ReN theme in mind. Following on from the conference Hayo Reinders will now be guest editing submissions for a special issue of JALT CALL Journal in the following areas: <!-- Include the Google Friend Connect javascript library. --> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/friendconnect/script/friendconnect.js"></script> <!-- Define the div tag where the gadget will be inserted. --> <div id="div-5650682342353351382" style="width:600px;border:1px solid #cccccc;"></div> <!-- Render the gadget into a div. --> <script type="text/javascript"> google.friendconnect.container.setParentUrl('/' /* location of rpc_relay.html and canvas.html */); google.friendconnect.container.renderOpenSocialGadget( { id: 'div-5650682342353351382', url:'http://www.google.com/ig/modules/socialevent.xml', site: '11346317706391644928', 'view-params':{"id":"1","title":"AILA 2011","scope":"ID","tz":"Asia/Shanghai","start":"2011-08-23 10:00:00","location":"Beijing","imageUrl":"www.aila2011.org/en","end":"2011-08-28 10:00:00"} }); </script>
