Track Description and Topics of Interest:
The diverse structure and usage of languages in various aspects including
interactions, social contexts, pronunciations, explicit/implicit semantic meanings
and syntactic structures readily present many challenges for local or foreign
learners of any age or level of education to learn one/several language(s) and
effectively use it/them for communication. However, due to the impacts of
globalization, language learning is becoming a very crucial and life-long activity for
many who wish to communicate and participate in business or large-scale projects
involving experts from around the globe. With enabling technologies such as
affective and pervasive computing, cloud and mobile computing, e-books,
intelligent e-learning systems, semantic web and ontology analysis, smart sensors,
social computing, Web 2.0 and knowledge management techniques and new
pedagogical impacts developed and studies in the past decade, the challenge of
language learning is expected to be reduced with new and innovative
methods/technologies. This specific track of “Technology Enhanced Language
Learning” (TELL@ICALT2016) is targeted at providing an exciting forum for
educators, practitioners and researchers to exchange and share their inspiring
and innovative ideas and experiences to enhance language learning in various
aspects and dimensions of the learning processes.
