Why a SIG in CALL Teacher Education?

The EuroCALL Teacher Education Special Interest Group focuses on issues related to language teaching with technologies and in particular on how teachers learn to

  • integrate learning technologies into teaching practice
  • develop techno-pedagogical competencies
  • evolve with changing tools, methods and learners.

We are especially interested in

  • how teachers can be supported in CALL practice
  • research methods in teacher education
  • links between CALL research and teaching practice.

 

What are the SIG’s Objectives?

The activities of the SIG include:

  • Sharing information with other members through the SIG Google group, the SIG’s new and Twitter.
  • Organising dedicated symposia at EUROCALL conferences.
  • Organising regional workshops in members’ home institutions which will enable members to make others aware of EUROCALL’s work.
  • Collaborating on the development of international project proposals.
  • Encouraging SIG members to visit each other’s institutions with the aim of developing collaboration.
  • Establishing links with other organisations’ Special Interest Groups working in related areas.
