In this recent TESL-EJ articles, Jarvis and Achilleos review different terminology for connecting technology and SLA (TELL, WELL, NBLL). On the basis of questionnaire data showing EFL users' preferences for mobile technology, they suggest changing two letters in the CALL (Computer Assisted Language Learning) acronym: Computer becomes Mobile and Learning become Use in MALU (Mobile Assisted Language Use).
The authors conclude that "MALU now needs to be our defining point of reference in keeping TESOL at the vanguard."

This edited volume by Sylvie Thouësny and Linda Bradley can be downloaded free from the above link (or you can contribute, or pay for print if you like).
It showcases recent doctoral work in a variety of CALL contexts (distance and blended learning, MALL, CMC) and from different theoretical perspectives (task-based learning, intercultural competence, learner autonomy). The work all shows the clear theoretical framework, solid empirical data, and up-to-the-minute references we associate with the best dissertations, and the articles were prepared with input from leading researchers such as Blin, Gimeno-Sanz, and Kukulska-Hulme to name but three.

Shona Whyte: Here's the programme for this year's EuroCALL conference to be held at the end of August in Sweden.
It gives an interesting overview of trends in CALL (computer-assisted language learning) research - mobile learning, gamification, corpora, computer-mediated communication (CMC) and telecollaboration - and features many of the main researchers working in this area in Europe and further afield.
There are two papers on the iTILT project (interactive technologies in language teaching, http://itilt.eu):
Thursday 23 August, 10:45 Developing criteria for the design and evaluation of interactive whiteboard based materials: Intermediate findings from the iTILT project
Saturday 25 August, 11:15 Perceptions of the IWB for second language teaching and learning: the iTILT
I'm also talking about curation for pre-service language teachers in the Teacher Education symposium on Thursday.
