Dear colleagues,
VietCALL is delighted to announce the inaugural VietCALL International Conference, a significant milestone designed to foster innovation and collaboration in the field of language education and technology. With the dynamic theme “Advancing Pedagogical Strategies for AI-Integrated Language Education,” this groundbreaking conference aims to explore and expand the transformative potential of artificial intelligence within language teaching and learning environments.
The purpose of the conference is to create a vibrant international forum where educators, linguists, researchers, technologists, and policymakers from diverse backgrounds can come together to exchange knowledge, share pioneering research findings, discuss best practices, and identify opportunities and challenges associated with integrating AI into language pedagogy.
AI tools have significantly reshaped language teaching and learning by personalizing educational experiences, enhancing interactive and immersive learning environments, and providing sophisticated analytics for both learners and educators. These tools can address diverse learning needs, foster learner autonomy, enhance motivation and engagement, and streamline assessment and feedback processes, thus revolutionizing traditional pedagogical approaches and outcomes.
