Call for Papers:
CALL: Human Connections
The International Journal of Computer Assisted Language Learning
Teaching Literature with Computers
On Going Calls
Here are TWO opportunities for our members interested in CALL and literature to explore the benefits of using computers with students to expand their horizons. Please remember CJO if you are discussing something specific to Japan, and that you might be better published here.
The international journal Computer Assisted Language Learning http://www.swets.nl/sps/journals/call.html is seeking submissions for a special edition focusing on the work of scholars based in Japan.
Aims and Scope:
Computer Assisted Language Learning is an international journal that leads the field in its total dedication to all matters associated with the use of computers in language learning (L1 and L2). It provides a forum to discuss the discoveries in the field and to exchange experience and information about existing techniques. The scope of the Journal is intentionally wide-ranging and embraces a multitude of disciplines.
Areas Covered:
� Pedagogical principles and their applications
� Cognitive Modelling
� Observations on, and evaluation of, CALL software
� Intelligent Tutoring Systems
� Digitised versions of Video and Audio
� Application of AI to language teaching
� Computer assisted translation
� Computer assisted composition
� Multilingual systems
� Simulated active learning environments
Audience:
Teachers and researchers, linguists, computer scientists, psychologists, and educationalists
Contributions may be e-mailed to Mark Peterson (Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology) mark@jaist.ac.jp. The deadline for submissions will be September 30th 1998.
Teaching Literature with Computers:
A Refereed Electronic Publication
http://www.triton.dsu.edu/tlwc.
New Publication Announcement and Call for Papers
Teaching Literature with Computers is pleased to announce the publication of a new article, "Is There a Hypertext in this Class? Teaching Victorian Literature in the Electronic Age" by Jonathan Smith, Department of English, U of Michigan-Dearborn. The essay describes and analyzes the use of hypertexts, in particular George P. Landow's The Dickens Web and The In Memoriam Web, in two undergraduate Victorian literature classes. Hypertext is shown to encourage active student engagement, especially with contextual material; to lead to more focused research topics; and to facilitate student collaboration. The potential of hypertext is best realized, however, when it is extensively integrated into a course. Focus is thus given to two practical questions: 1) How must classroom management and writing assignments be reconceptualized? 2) How are students to be taught to read hypertextually? Landow's claim about the ease with which the latter occurs is questioned.
TLWC: Teaching Literature with Computers has been created to meet the needs of teachers at all levels of instruction who are looking for information and ideas about how to teach literature with computers. TLWC is looking for articles that describe in detail specific uses of computers in teaching literature. Articles should also analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the uses of computers described. As a peer-reviewed, online collection, TLWC serves as a continuously growing, evolving resource, offering challenging ideas to innovative teachers.
Articles may discuss any use of computers in teaching literature, including (but not limited to) synchronous and asynchronous discussion, MOOs, using and authoring hypertext/hypermedia, CD-ROMs, the World-Wide Web, online textbooks, word processing, and authoring software and multimedia packages. Articles should focus primarily on classroom and course-related applications of computer technology. Articles that relate classroom applications of computer technology to particular theoretical concerns are also welcome, though article should focus explicitly on teaching.
For more information on and submission guidelines for TLWC, please visit our web page at http://www.triton.dsu.edu/tlwc. or e-mail the editor, Seth Katz, at seth@bradley.bradley.edu.

Language Learning & Technology (LLT)
Language Learning & Technology (LLT) is an academic refereed journal which will be published on the World Wide Web beginning summer 1997. The journal is sponsored by seven professional organizations and language resource centers in the United States, Europe, and Australia, and is supported by an editorial board of 30 scholars in the fields of second language acquisition, applied linguistics, and computer-assisted language learning.
We invite submissions on any topic examining how language learning is affected by the use of technology. Submissions should report on original research or make connections between research, theory, and teaching practice. Reviews of books, software, and other technological resources are also invited. While we welcome strictly text-based manuscripts, we are also inviting manuscripts which are enhanced by graphics or multimedia or which include hypermedia links to further illustrative material.
More details, including a listing of the sponsoring organizations and editorial board, complete information for contributors, and free subscription information, is available at Language Learning & Technology: http://polyglot.cal.msu.edu/llt
