Eleventh Bandung International Conference on Language & Education ICT in Language Studies

Call for Papers

 

The Bandung International Conferences on Language & Education - jointly organised every two years by Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB), the British Council in Indonesia and the University of Leeds (UK) – explore issues of topical concern to language specialists and language educators in Indonesia. They also attract significant numbers of participants from other parts of the world.

 

BICOLE 11 - the Eleventh International Bandung Conference on Language & Education - focuses on Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in Language Studies. It does this through five sub-themes:

·         E-learning and teaching (What are the benefits and drawbacks of using ICT to learn and teach languages?)

·         Social media in learning and teaching (Do social media really have a role to play in language studies?)

·         Corpus analysis and the language curriculum (How can corpus-based analysis give us a better understanding of the language which we are studying or teaching??)

·         E-teacher development (Can teachers’ competences be developed through ICT? How?)

·         Online language testing (We are already familiar with online IELTS and TOEFL. What are the limits of online language testing?)

 

What makes the Bandung International Conferences on Language & Education special?   ·         Relevance: BICOLE always focuses on a topic which is of current importance in Indonesia. ·         Focus: The theme of each conference is reflected in every presentation. Papers not related to the conference theme are not accepted. ·         Quality: All proposals are considered by an international selection committee. Only the highest quality proposals are accepted for presentation.
