JALTCALL

JALTCALL, the JALT (Japan Association for Language Teaching) SIG (special interest group) for Computer-Assisted Language Learning is a nonprofit organisation focussed on technology in language learning. The SIG was formed in the early 1990s by a small group of educators who saw the great potential for using computers in language education. Since then, a myriad of technologies has evolved, and the computer is no longer the only, or even the main, focus of the SIG. Our goal is to encourage and disseminate research into both the practical applications and the theoretical issues that are connected with new (and older) educational technologies. We hope you will read the JALTCALL Journal that comes out 3 times a year (see the archives on our website) and join us at our annual conference (held in June) or our Teaching’n’Technology workshops (held the day before the annual JALT International Conference in November).
