Linguapolis, the Institute for Language and Communication of the University of Antwerp, conducts, from 22 to 27 August 2010, a Summer School course on qualitative and quantitative research methods in language learning and teaching:
A Toolbox for Design-Based Research
Lecturers are Sven De Maeyer, PhD and Vincent Donche, PhD (Institute of Education and Information Sciences, University of Antwerp).
The course will focus on methodological considerations in designing and conducting empirical research. We will highlight the practical issues involved in the use of qualitative and quantitative research methods. Insight will be given into the most commonly used data-collection techniques such as surveys, interviews, and observation. Further we will analyse how to generate more data-driven conclusions.
The target group are researchers in language learning and teaching who need to investigate user data or results of specific design practices and experiments in a more evidence-based manner. At the end of the course each participant gets a personal consult with the lectures to discuss current research.
The number of participants is limited to 25. Timely registration (or reservation) is therefore necessary.
Check http://summerschool.linguapolis.be for more information and registration or contact ann.aerts@ua.ac.be
This second edition of the Summer School can be combined with Antwerp CALL 2010: Motivation and beyond (18-20 August 2010). Participants of CALL 2010 get a reduction for the Summer School and vice versa.

EC-TE
L 2010: Fifth European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning | Sustaining TEL: from innovation to learning and practice
Barcelona (Spain), 28 September-1 October 2010 The last decade has seen significant investment in terms of effort and resources (time, people, money) in innovating education and training. The time has come to make the bold step from small scale innovation research and development to larger scale implementation and evaluation. The time has come to show the world (government, industry, general population) that we have matured to the stage that sustainable learning and learning practices - both in schools and in industry - can be achieved based upon our work.
ECTEL 2010 will bring together technological developments, learning models, and implementations of new and innovative approaches to training and education. The conference will explore how the synergy of multiple disciplines, ranging from Computer Science, Education, Psychology, Cognitive Science, and Social Science, can provide new, more effective and more especially more sustainable, technology-enhanced learning solutions to learning problems. The conference welcomes researchers and developers from European and Non-European countries and industries to present recent advancements from technologies, applications, and learning models in all areas of technology enhanced learning.
