Hi and welcome to our second edition of the CALLIS newsletter, the second with TESOL’s new format. My name is Larry Udry, and I am the editor of the CALLIS e-newsletter, On CALL. Let me first offer a word about CALLIS in case you’re a newcomer like me. CALLIS is a vibrant, active TESOL community. (Room 103A) and the Technology Showcase (Room 103B). See the Collaborative Letter from the Chairs for more info regarding these events.
In addition to the above, we have other conference sessions, daily and hourly, in the following areas of interest:
- Mobile Apps for Education
- The Developers’ Showcase
- Mini-workshops
- Hardware and Mobile Technology Fair
- EV Fairs and EV Fair Classics
There are too many sessions to mention here, so make sure you get a program so you can get to the sessions that interest you while you are at the conference. For a fuller description of events, see the Letter from the Chairs in this newsletter. At the EV, there really is something for everyone, and all the sessions are very informal and hands-on. You could probably keep yourself busy in the EV, but remember the other CALL and other sessions in the rest of the conference.
Finally, if you have an article that you would like to submit for the post-conference newsletter, please contact me. All types of information related to CALL can be submitted (articles, Web sites, resources, books/journal articles, events, book/software reviews, etc.). Submissions should begin with a brief abstract/teaser (approximately 50 words). Submissions should conclude with a one- or two-sentence bio about the author(s) and include a jpeg of the author(s). Length can vary depending on the type of submission—articles should be no more than 1,500 words (including tables), but other types of submissions will be shorter. Use the Publications Manual of the American Psychological Association, Sixth Edition (APA) guidelines for referencing all outside sources.
Thanks and I look forward to seeing you at the conference!
