Task-Based Leveraging Technology (TBLT2025)

April 2, 2025 - April 4, 2025

https://rug.nl/tblt2025

Technology mediated language learning has always received attention by task-based researchers and practitioners. In recent years, this has taken flight with many different avenues within technology-based TBLT that are researched and practiced. At the TBLT 2025 conference we hope to attract the newest advancements in research and best practices that fall within the broad sense of computer-assisted language learning and pedagogies based on TBLT.

We invite submissions for individual papers, show-and-tell presentations, and posters.

Submission instructions:

All proposals should be submitted by May 15th 2024!

All submissions should be anonymized, submitted as a separate file, and should include:

- title (15 words maximum)
- abstract (300 words maximum, excluding references)
- brief summary for the conference program (50 words maximum)

Each participant may submit one abstract in authorship and a second one in co-authorship. An invited workshop/colloquium convenor can also present at their workshop/colloquium or in any other presentation modality.

LANGUAGE POLICY

The working language of the conference is English, but contributions in other languages will be considered. Presentation slides and other visual materials should be in English.

INDIVIDUAL PAPERS

Individual papers should report on original research or make a thought-provoking theoretical contribution to the field. Research proposals should provide explicit information on the research design. Paper presentations will be 30 minutes (20-minutes for presentation and 10 minutes for discussion). Authors who would like to be considered as contributors to one of the invited colloquia can indicate so when submitting, though this does not preclude being accepted as an individual paper outside the colloquium.

SHOW-AND-TELL PRESENTATIONS

Show-and-tell presentations are intended for practitioners and researchers to show a video or present task-based materials and approaches in a brief, concrete, and visually appealing way. The duration of each show-and-tell presentation is 10 minutes, followed by a 5-minute Q&A.

POSTERS

Poster presentations are intended for face-to-face discussions of research and practice. Researchers and practitioners are invited to present their research or teaching approaches in a one-on-one or small-group setting.

PEER REVIEW

All submissions will be peer-reviewed on the basis of the following criteria:

- Significance
- Clarity and coherence of argumentation
- Originality
- Research Design / Conceptual Framework

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Note that as part of the submission process we ask if you expect to pay a reduced registration fee. These fees are for students or participants whose affiliation is to a university not listed as a high-income country by the World Bank. This information is collected as part of the submission process solely for conference planning purposes, and will have no impact on the review of your abstract.

Submissions open: April 1, 2024 - May 15, 2024
