CONFERENCE OVERVIEW<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We would sincerely like to thank all of you who attended the 21st International CALL Research Smart<\/em> <\/mark>Conference<\/strong>, hosted virtually by Waseda University, Tokyo, Japan\u00a0on\u00a0July 8-10, 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The theme of the conference was Smart CALL. We define \u201cSmart\u201d as possessing three qualities: personalization<\/em>, contextualization,<\/em> and socialization<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personalization<\/em> is the extent to which technologies and learning environments are adapted to the specific profile of the language learner. Contextualization<\/em> is how technologies and learning environments can be adjusted to the specific context of the learner. Socialization<\/em> is the way in which technologies and learning environments afford meaningful interaction amongst learners, co-learners, teachers and researchers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conference this year was held as a Smart Conference.<\/em> The parallel presentations were pre-recorded meaning and could be viewed at any time during the conference period. There were also live interaction sessions between the participants and presenters. We called this a “Smart Conference” as it allowed us to incorporate the three elements discussed above: personalization, contexualization, and socialization. Thank you for joining us for this unique and innovative event!<\/p>\n\n\n
