EUROCALL'98 - From classroom teaching to worldwide learning

EUROCALL'98 will take place in Leuven, Belgium, from 9 to 12 September 1998. This international conference will address the use of Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) in modern language teaching and learning, focusing on the theme "From classroom teaching to worldwide learning".

ICT has had a major impact on both learning and teaching and has led to a more student-oriented approach towards learning, with the role of the teacher becoming one of a facilitator, a guide in the learning process. The aim of this conference is to demonstrate how present day computer-assisted language learning (CALL) guides a student towards a worldwide learning attitude.

Key features of the conference will include the following:

- Presentation on the integration of ICT in the language curriculum;
- Presentation on new language learning strategies and their influence on courseware design, including ICT developments and their implications for new language learning strategies;
- Pre-conference workshops to examine software applications such as HTML and JAVA, Authorware, Multimedia Toolbook and Win Calis;
- Series of presentations on research in the field of language teaching methodology and ICT;
- Presentation and demonstration by developers of new software;
- Ongoing demonstration fair of language learning software and language related multimedia applications.
