Call for Papers – SLanguages 2008
Following on from last year’s inaugural SLanguages conference, we are pleased to announce a call for papers for this year’s bigger and better event, to be held 23rd May 10:00 PST to 24th May 10:00 PST on EduNation II and III.
The conference aims to bring together practitioners and researchers in the field of language education in Second Life for a 24-hour festival celebrating languages and cultures in Second Life, and will include a variety of social events as well as an exciting mix of plenary and simultaneous sessions throughout.
We would like to invite speakers to submit proposals for seminars, workshops, discussions, demonstrations and poster displays on all aspects of language learning and teaching in Second Life. Sessions should be a maximum of one hour, and you should be prepared to do your session twice over the 24-hour period in order to maximise audience participation globally.
Presentations (in any language) should be voice and text (ask us for tools to facilitate this) and, where possible, include handouts and summaries for the seminar archive, which will be made available shortly after the live event itself.
Space will also be made available for exhibitions, poster displays and demonstrations of teaching tools, gadgets and games.
If you would like to participate, please contact Dudeney Ge in world (please use a notecard as IMs are often capped), or write to me off list at gavin.dudeney@theconsultants-e.com. More details at the SLanguages website:
Please note that as per last year, we ask you to tag any postings, mentions, photos or other materials related to SLanguages2008 with the tag ‘slanguages2008′ (as well as your own set of tags) to make it easier to track conference related artefacts.
[...] Languages is very pleased to be sponsoring this year’s event, which promises to be bigger and better than the 2007 [...]
