The Call for Presentation Proposals for the JALTCALL 2024 Conference will open on Sunday, November 26th, 2023.
- The call is open to both JALT and non-JALT members, in Japan or overseas;
- Proposals should reflect the aims of the conference and be related to the particular interests of the JALT Computer-Assisted Language Learning special interest group (CALL SIG). (For more information check the JALT page at https://jaltcall.org/);
- Abstracts regarding research items or projects that are still incomplete at the time of submission may also be accepted;
- We encourage first-time presenters: JALT’s Writers' Peer Support Group is offering their support to those who request assistance (see: https://jalt-publications.org/psg);
- We accept submissions in English and Japanese. Submissions in other languages are welcome and will be reviewed on a best-effort basis.
PRESENTATIONS
Note: All presentations will be in person at the Meijo University Nagoya Dome Campus facility
When you submit your proposal, please select one of the following options:
Research-based presentation
Includes empirical studies in a given CALL environment, theoretical discussion of an issue relevant to the field of CALL, evaluative studies of courseware in use, discussion of policies or strategies at an institutional, regional, or national level or assessment of the potential of technological advances in the delivery of language learning materials.
Length: 30 minutes including Q&A
Practice-based presentation
Descriptions of a given language learning environment, piece of software, courseware, or practical application still in the developmental stage. There is less expectation regarding evaluation or research issues associated with the environment than in a paper presentation.
Length: 30 minutes including Q&A
Poster presentation
As an alternative to oral presentations, submissions may also be presented as poster presentations. Poster presentations provide opportunities for extended and informal discussions with other researchers.
Length: 60 minutes

KEYWORDS: Please list 2-4 keywords to classify your presentation.
NOTES: Please indicate any special requests you have for your presentation. (Speakers must supply their own digital devices and any needed adapters.)
NUMBER OF PRESENTATIONS PER PERSON
Each person may only submit one proposal as lead presenter/author. Each person may present in a maximum of two presentations or forums. Excess submissions will be deleted. Since the whole proposal, not simply one presenter, will be eliminated, this will result in co-presenters being eliminated as well, even if they have not exceeded the limit for proposals.
DEADLINE
Proposals must be submitted by Sunday, January 14th, 2024 at 11:59 pm JST. Responses regarding your submissions will be sent via email from the end of March 2024. Those who are requested to revise their submissions will be notified in mid-March, with a revision deadline to be announced.
