Call for extended abstract

Education is being revolutionized in the digital age. Language learning has no exception. The rapid development of artificial intelligence has speed up the transformation of language pedagogical practices. Further, language learning has been shifted from face-to-face to online due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has given rise to radical changes of the learning culture. What is the future of language learning in the fast-changing, post-pandemic world leveraged by emerging technologies poses expectations, interest and concerns from many scholars in the field of technology-enhanced language learning. Against this background, “Asia Pacific Society of Computers in Education” (APSCE) initiated its first conference with the theme of “International Conference of Future Language Learning (ICFULL)”.

The conference aims to involve scholars, practitioners and researchers to share and exchange their research findings in exploring the potential that cutting-edge technologies can provide for language pedagogical practices in terms of AI-supported language learning, personalized / adaptive learning, digital game-based learning, technology-supported self-directed learning, learning analytics in language learning, assessment with emerging technologies, etc.; looking into emerging language learning theories, pedagogies, research methods and professional development models; and addressing ethical issues caused by new technologies in language education in an attempt to shed light on future language learning.
