We extend a cordial invitation to submit a contribution. Contributions may include work-in-progress, completed work or theory-based and/or empirically-based proposals. They should focus on language learning and teaching contexts and serve as contributions to the field of technology-enhanced listening. The contribution should be in English in any of the three types:
Research and development: an oral summary that discusses the presenters’ empirical work in relation to underlying theories. This type of session will be scheduled in concurrent slots. This session should be presented live with a maximum of 3 speakers and 10 of the 30 minutes should be reserved for audience Q&A.
Reflective practice: this format encourages classroom teachers to share a technique for teaching listening/assessing, criteria for materials selection and/or development. This type of session will be scheduled in concurrent slots. This session should be presented live with a maximum of 2 speakers. The theory underlying the technique should be presented in the first 7 minutes.
Workshop: a hands-on professional development activity. The leader helps participants develop a specific teaching or research technique. Electronic handouts are expected to be shared with the audience. This type of session will be scheduled in concurrent slots. This session should be presented live with a maximum of 2 speakers. Workshops can be of two types: synchronous or asynchronous.
