Call for Papers

The jointly held TeLLT 2024 conference and CoLLT 2024 conference aim to bring together academics from around the world to report on their various research work related to technology-enhanced language learning and teaching (TeLLT), and corpus-based language learning and teaching (CoLLT). As TeLLT and CoLLT are gaining momentum in this digitized world, we hope that, through the two jointly held conferences, we can promote Hong Kong as a hub for academic exchanges and collaborations in the area of technology-enhanced language learning and teaching, and corpus-based language learning and teaching. We welcome scholars and researchers to report their studies on technology-enhanced (including corpus-based) learning and teaching of English, Putonghua, Cantonese, and other modern languages (e.g., French, Japanese, Spanish, Korean, etc.)

The conference will be composed of keynote speeches, oral and poster presentations. In addition, practical workshops for demonstrating how corpus resources/tools can be integrated into classroom teaching will be arranged.

The themes of the conferences include but are not limited to the following areas:

1. New technologies (e.g. AI, Metaverse, AR, VR, XR) and second/foreign language education
2. Generative AI in language education
3. Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK) development
4. TeLLT environment
5. TeLLT & L2 teacher education
6. TeLLT & L2 learners
7. Web-based instructional design for second/foreign language instruction
8. Web-based & resource-driven language learning
9. Technology-enhanced language assessment
10. Mobile language Learning and emerging technologies
11. Fostering autonomous language learning through technologies
12. Managing multimedia/hypermedia language learning environments
13. Corpus-based language learning and teaching
14. Corpus-based lexicology and lexicography
15. Corpus-based grammatical studies
16. Corpus-based studies of phonetics and phonology
17. The use of corpora in discourse analysis
18. Corpus approaches to the study of new media
19. Corpus design, compilation and types
20. Corpus methodology
21. Corpora, contrastive studies and translation
22. Corpus-based computational linguistics
23. Corpus-based data-driven learning
24. Special uses of corpus linguistics

In addition, practical workshops for demonstrating how corpus resources/tools can be integrated into classroom teaching will be arranged.

We invite submissions of abstracts for the following types of contributions:

Paper presentation:

25 minutes (20 minutes for presentation; 5 minutes for comments and questions)

Poster presentations:

To be displayed at conveniently accessible conference venue

Submission of abstracts:

Abstracts should be within 400 words (excluding references and figures).

Best paper awards:

Best paper awards will be offered to presenters with high-quality research papers. These prestigious awards aim to recognize and honour exceptional research in the fields of technology-enhanced language learning and teaching, as well as corpus-based language learning and teaching.

Conference publications:

Special issues of the following journals will be dedicated to selected papers from the Conference. The journals include Computers and Education: Artificial Intelligence (Scopus indexed, CiteScore 7.7, Elsevier)
