The 2nd ACM Chapter International Conference on Educational Technology, Language, and Technical Communication (ETLTC2020)
The ETLTC 2020 theme – Education Technology, Language, and Technical Communication
Collaboration between the use of technology in global education and the language that communicates such use to improve both education quality and customer satisfaction worldwide – is an opportunity to create synergy between educators and industry professionals across a wide spectrum of applications.
The focus of the conference is on the use of technology for education in general, for language studies in specific and how understanding technology as a user and using technology to design technical communication and for information design are interrelated fields of study.
The conference’s three cross-cutting themes are designed to help unpack the interrelations of quality education, use of technology for academic and industrial learning, and the technical communication that will help people understand the details of the use of such technology through the lenses of linguists and technical communicators, consumers of technology, customers who handle e-commerce technologies and interfaces that lead to learning; teachers including corporate trainers; education specialists, school and corporate leadership, and school and corporate governance.
ETLTC's community of educational researchers, policymakers, and practitioners increasingly recognize that educational and industrial challenges in the use of technology, language and communication are getting increasingly complex, dynamic and multidimensional. ETLTC will, therefore, create a platform for exchange, learning, and collaboration between professionals who are working directly in the industry or in close association with it, and traditional academics who work with different educational technologies in daily life. This platform will also allow us to understand how to bridge the gap between what we teach in our classes, and how useful it is in real life industry (transfer skills).
The organizing committee is seeking papers that will allow organizing one of the following:
Individual Paper Presentation: A paper proposal can be submitted by an individual or small group of authors. Authors present abbreviated versions of their papers followed by comments/critique and audience discussion. Paper sessions are 90 minutes in length and will include 5-6 papers.
Symposium: A symposium provides an opportunity to examine specific research issues, problems, or topics from a variety of perspectives. They may present alternative solutions, interpretations, or contrasting points of view on a specific subject, or in relation to a common theme. Frequently interactive, a large portion of the session may be devoted to dialogue among presenters and discussant, questions and discussion among all those present, or small-group interactions. Symposia are 90 minutes in length. They include 5-6 presentations.
Roundtable Discussion: A roundtable session consists of 3-4 individual paper presentations grouped according to a cross-cutting research problem or issue or where researchers, policy makers and practitioners with similar interests would benefit from the exchange, discussion, and collaboration. Proposals for a roundtable session can be submitted by an individual or small group of authors. Roundtables are 90 minutes in length. They include 3-4 presentations.
Poster: Poster sessions combine the graphics display of materials with the opportunity for individualized, informal discussion of a project in research, policy and/or practice. Individual presenters set up displays in a large area with other presenters. Posters should be set up to be visible for the duration of the conference. Presenters will be expected to be present at designated times. Workshop: Workshops offer a forum for discussion of a broad range of emerging and specialized topics of interest to the ICSEI community. Workshops are more interactive and informal than paper sessions and can involve extended discussion, group brainstorming sessions, mini-tutorials around key ideas, and proof-of-concept demonstration sessions. Workshops are 90 minutes in length. Virtual Sessions: Virtual sessions will allow those presenters who would not be able to attend the conference in person to upload a presentation (15-minutes movie file) at the conference website and attend questions from the conference participants worldwide. Virtual attendees will also get an opportunity to publish in the proceedings exactly like the other participants and will get a virtual certificate of participation sent on postal mail to their registered address. Proposal Selection and Topics: The selection process for all types will be blind refereed.
The five major genres for paper submission are as follows:
1. Computer Assisted Language Learning
2. Task-based Language Learning
3. Educational Technology in Academia and Industry
4. Information Design and eLearning
5. Technical Communication

Submission Requirements:
You can submit a short abstract/proposal in the system before the deadline of Nov 10, 2019, but please make sure to upload the actual paper (full paper, short paper or extended abstract) by November 10th, 2019.
All submission types will be blind refereed. The evaluators will review all submissions without the names of the authors and presenters (which will be submitted separately). Thus, the names of the organizers and presenters should not appear in the text of the proposals.
