CALICO Journal 43:1, Special Issue Call for Papers

Special Issue Title: Inclusion & Diversity in CALL,
CALICO Journal 43.1 (February, 2026)

Co-editors: Carolyn Blume (TU Dortmund), Jules Buendgens-Kosten (Goethe University Frankfurt), Peter Schildhauer (Bielefeld University)

In theory, digitalization offers new opportunities to meet learners’ needs. This is especially true for those learners whose needs are considered atypical or who are at risk of educational exclusion due to marginalization or as a result of systemic barriers that interfere with participation. The potential role of computer-assisted language learning (CALL) is particularly important, given the centrality of digital media and mediatization to contemporary communication, language learning, and inclusion (Alper & Irons 2020; Blume & Bündgens-Kosten 2023; Reinhardt & Thorne 2017; Sauro & Zourou 2019). However, while an increasing number of conceptual proposals and practical recommendations address the potential of CALL to mediate inclusion, only a small proportion of these initiatives have been empirically assessed (Belda-Medina 2022; Kasch 2020; Ralston 2016). Advancements have been made since Hockly’s 2016 lament regarding the lack of “rigorous research studies” (p. 335), but analyses at the nexus of diversity and CALL – especially as regards disabilities beyond sensory and motor disabilities, and languages besides spoken English – remain rare. The available research, for example, regarding individual learner differences and CALL focuses primarily on universal factors contributing to learner heterogeneity in language learning, such as age, socioeconomic status, or aptitude (Dausend & Nickel 2017; Puebla et al. 2022). Other research that examines inclusive education via and with digital media generally does not consider additional or foreign language learning (e.g., Holz et al. 2023; Ikeshita-Yamazoe & Miyao 2014; Ringland 2019). As such, the growing research base does not, as yet, do justice to the complexity of diversity among disabled or marginalized language learners in CALL environments. This also applies to the complex, intersecting ways in which learners who may be seen as atypical or who are threatened by educational discrimination due to aspects of their identity are ill-served. This special issue seeks contributions that address these issues. 

The role of digital media and tools stretches far beyond that of a potentially compensatory or additive element for inclusive language learning. Rather, digitalization can be understood as a process of mediatization, in which existing communicative practices and social processes are modified by new interactive means and forms (cf. Hepp 2020). The resulting culture of digitality (Stalder 2018) is marked by new forms of community building (cf. Jenkins 2009), (re-)mixing and sharing digital artifacts, as well as algorithmicity. Digital genres and semiotic modes used for creating meaning and forming identity are increasingly diversified.  The New London Group’s (1996) call for a “pedagogy of multiliteracies” in response to these changes needs to be further examined in relation to its implications for a wide range of learners (cf. Schildhauer et al. 2020).  

There are many ways that digital media, tools, and practices for language learning can accommodate learners who have physical or sensorial preferences, who are neurodivergent or who experience chronic illness. Some of these tools, applications, and activities are designed especially for specific groups of these learners, while others might achieve usefulness through universal design, similar accessibility-focused perspectives, or even incidentally. Hockly (2016) points to several studies that illustrate how “everyday technologies,” such as multimedia texts, voice recording apps, and individualized systems can support language learning for disabled English language learners in TESOL contexts. Such developments can theoretically lead to improved CALL for all, as a wider variety of individual needs among diverse learners drives didactic and technological advancement and adaptivity. However, much remains to be done. 

This thematic issue seeks contributions that will contribute to our understanding of how digital tools and digital communication practices can facilitate inclusive language learning in different contexts. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: 

  • Evaluations of existing CALL tools and materials with a focus on the target groups outlined above
  • Analyses of existing barriers in CALL
  • Conceptual and empirical work related to CALL and different dimensions of heterogeneity (including, but not limited to, physical or sensorial differences, neurodiversity, cognitive ability, chronic illness, language modality)
  • Conceptual and empirical work related to language educators and their perspectives, needs as well as necessary competences regarding the implementation of CALL in the target groups outlined above

Gaming SIG Newsletter

 Fall 2022
Issue 44:
Jakob Johnson (Chair)
Daniel Dixon (Associate Chair)
Greetings!!
Hope you all had a good Thanksgiving!
New Discord Server and Methods to Interact and Keep in Touch
Remember that we have a Facebook group and a Google Group; the join link can be found on the SIG’s page on CALICO’s website.
Based on comments during CALICO 2022 we decided to also create/move to a Discord server (invite link here: https://discord.gg/nVeZw8JqHq). Our hope in creating this is to help encourage collaboration and interaction as it seems the google group and Facebook group do not see much traffic. However, please let us know what you think of the move to Discord. Thank you to those who have joined!
We will continue to use Google Groups for the Newsletter, as well as posting and archive of Newsletters to Discord.
One of the aspects of using Discord was a hope for the ability to archive past newsletters which has been done (at least a link to a google drive folder) for easy access. We also discussed potentially creating some form of list of games people like to use in their classrooms with potential short explanations of how to use them while teaching.
Here is the Google Forms link: https://forms.gle/KciuZuDxmf8C7XVH8

Examples of Using Games:
Newcomer: A Language Learning RPG
In this issue, we spoke with Jason Kappes, a software engineer who is solo developing Newcomer, a fantasy language learning video game. In the game, players learn a second language to save the kingdom and befriend its people. We asked Jason to tell us a little bit about the game and what inspired him to create it.
In Newcomer, players have the ability to participate in second language conversations. Players can communicate, create relationships, and complete conversation goals with more than 100 characters. These conversations and relationships can lead to the player receiving a quest, an item, or access to a new area. You can watch an example of this character interaction with this link:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQ2DA-mhfqs


During in-game conversations, players build sentences and based on what is said, the NPC (interlocutor) will respond accordingly. NPCs can understand context, respond intelligently, and ask the player questions. The amount the player can say is constrained to their progress in the game.
In addition to L2 conversations, there are translatable short stories, grammar guides, a multi-modal dialogue system, and language battles. I also added simple RPG mechanics such as fishing, mining, crafting, alchemy, questing, and exploration.

The languages offered in the base application will be English, Spanish, Italian, and French. A user will choose their native language and then the second language to learn. Spanish natives can learn English, English natives can learn French, etc. Newcomer was created for absolute beginner – intermediate learners. The goal is that an absolute beginner can complete the game and be able to have basic conversations using elementary vocabulary, from A0 – A1.
My personal journey: Language learning is a hobby, but I wanted (and think there should be) a more interesting context to learn within. I thought language learning would work well in a Pokemon-esque video game where there are clear in-game goals tied to language progression. I’m also interested in creating game-based learning applications, so creating Newcomer is the intersection of my hobby (language learning), passion (programming), and meaning (making it easier to learn languages, and improve the world). I’m not an expert, and I am still growing as a programmer, language learner, and language educator. I’m reading research papers, discussing what I’m making with like-minded individuals, and actively creating and iterating on digital game-based language learning methods. My favorite book has been The Routledge Handbook of Second Language Acquisition and Technology. A special shoutout goes to LLP (Ludic

Language pedagogy) who have helped me along my journey. While I don’t declare Newcomer is a silver bullet to learning languages, it has research-based methods baked within that will help language learners improve.
The full trailer and more project features can be viewed on my Kickstarter:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jasonkappes/newcomer-language-learning-rpg
Feel free to share with friends and colleagues that are interested. If anyone wants to know more about Newcomer, or potentially work on interesting DGBLL projects in the future, contact me at jasonkappes656@gmail.com.

Sorry I wasn’t aware of any others (please reach out though if you have any, and we can get them put on the Discord)
Virtual October Get Together
So we didn’t have a great turn-out, if people are interested in doing something before the CALICO conference let us know on the Discord! We would be happy to plan another virtual get together some time next semester.

CALICO Journal CALICO Journal special issue, Technology-Mediated Task-based Language Teaching and Learning, Call for Papers

Papers are invited for a special issue of CALICO, the journal of the Computer-Assisted Language Instruction Consortium, on ‘Technology-Mediated Task-based Language Teaching and Learning. We are pleased to invite proposals for the special issue of volume 42 of the CALICO Journal, which will be published in February 2024. With this call for proposals, we are looking for (a) guest editor(s), who will produce an issue on a timely and compelling CALL-related theme that will resonate with our readership and move the field forward. If you are interested in becoming a guest editor, please submit a proposal addressing the following points:

(1) name(s) and affiliation(s) of the guest editor(s)
(2) topic of the special issue
(3) rationale for the topic (500 words maximum)
(4) short CV of each guest editor (with particular emphasis on published research on the topic of the special issue and editing experience)
(5) draft Call for Papers for the special issue

The editors invite papers exploring innovative approaches to designing, implementing, and evaluating technology-mediated task-based language teaching and learning. Papers may report on empirical studies or theoretical pieces that challenge our current thinking about TBLT. Quantitative, qualitative, mixed-, and multiple-method designs are
welcome. Quantitative studies examining learner process data are especially welcome as are all designs targeting less commonly taught languages, including ASL and other sign languages of the world. Studies relying purely on survey or questionnaire research will not be considered. Full-length manuscripts of no more than 7,500 words (all inclusive) will be invited by the editors after evaluating expressions of interest (see timeline below).

As a starting point, we use González-Lloret and Ortega (2014) in our framing of the five definitional features of a task in the context of technology and task integration. These features include the following: 1. Primary focus on meaning; 2. Goal orientation; 3. Learner-centeredness; 4. Holism; and 5. Reflective Learning. We also assume the non-neutrality of technology and acknowledge the importance of curriculum in task-technology integrations. Forward-thinking topics relevant to technology-mediated task-based language teaching and learning may include but are not limited to:

AI in TMTBLT
Assessment
Critical approaches to TMTBLT
Curriculum Design
Digital literacies
Extramural language learning
Gaming
Individual differences

CALICO Journal Special Issue Call for Papers

Special Issue Title: Social media pathways: Using social media to help language learners access target-language communities

Co-editors: Ellen Yeh (Columbia College Chicago) and Nicholas Swinehart (University of Chicago)

This CALICO Journal special issue explores and investigates CALL practices through the concept of “social media pathways”: using social media to help language learners access target-language communities, both virtual and physical. Social media tools have the potential to help language learners retrieve and critically assess crowd-sourced information from the local community of a target culture (Yeh & Mitric, 2021), enhance intercultural communicative competence (Lomicka & Ducate, 2021), foster social media literacy (Vanwynsberghe et al., 2015; Yeh & Swinehart, 2020), form language learner identities (Thorne et al., 2015), as well as develop sociocultural and pragmatic processes of language socialization (Sykes, 2019; Thorne et al., 2009). Social media can therefore serve as a “pathway” for connecting language learners to target-language communities. This can mean helping learners acquire the context-specific pragmatics and social media literacy necessary for successful interaction with target-language speakers in online communities (Sykes, 2018), or helping students learn about specific areas, cultures, and practices to prepare them for face-to-face interaction (Godwin-Jones, 2016).

This special issue uses a broad definition of social media to refer to any application or technology through which users participate in, create, and share media resources and practices with other users by means of digital networking” (Reinhardt, 2019), which can include blogs, social networking sites, virtual worlds (e.g., Second Life and virtual reality platforms), collaborative project platforms (e.g., Wikipedia), content communities (e.g., YouTube), affinity spaces (e.g., Reddit, Discord, and fan fiction), and online games (e.g., Minecraft, World of Warcraft). While this definition is broad, this special issue focuses on the integration of “authentic” social media environments–those not created or used exclusively for language learning purposes–into curricula and students’ digital practices through bridging activities (Thorne & Reinhardt, 2008), language learners-as-ethnographers (Roberts et al., 2001), or other approaches that attempt to scaffold learners’ understanding of and participation in complex linguistic environments. Through the use of “real-life language, the active engagement in authentic material, the participation in communities in the target language, and boundary crossing” (Miller et al., 2019, p. 551), the social media pathway connects language learners with the target language communities in extensive ways, while always working towards increased knowledge of and/or participation within those communities.

Themes of relevance to social media and target-language communities include, but are not limited to:

  • Innovative approaches to using social media to increase language learners’ access to and participation within target language communities.
  • Effective ways of developing social media literacy for participatory culture in both virtual and face-to-face target language communities.
  • Bridging students’ in-class and out-of-class digital literacy practices to increase language learners’ social and cultural interaction with target language speakers and communities in authentic ways.
  • Developing pragmatic awareness in diverse social media contexts.
  • Integrating social media literacy learner training and teacher training into pre-service and in-service teacher preparation programs.

This special issue invites full-length (no more than 7,000 words, all-inclusive) articles, with preference given to empirical studies. Authors are strongly encouraged to contextualize their contribution within appropriate theoretical and developmental frameworks.

 

Submission deadline for abstracts is October 3, 2022.

 

  • October 3, 2022: Submit an initial proposal of no more than 750 words to the guest editors.
  • Abstracts should be submitted via email (Word or PDF format only) to both co-editors: Ellen Yeh (eyeh@colum.edu) and Nicholas Swinehart (nswinehart@uchicago.edu).
  • If authors have any questions or queries, please contact the guest editors at the email addresses above.
  • October 17, 2022: Notifications for inviting full manuscripts
  • February 1, 2023: Full-length manuscripts due; must comply with CALICO’s formatting guidelines
  • August 15, 2023: Full-length final draft of manuscripts due
  • February, 2024: Special Issue publication

Special Issue to be published in February of 2024. Please note that abstract acceptance does not guarantee publication of the submitted manuscript. All manuscripts will be subject to a double-blind peer review process. Please send questions about the volume to co-editors Ellen Yeh (eyeh@colum.edu) and Nicholas Swinehart (nswinehart@uchicago.edu).
