EUROCALL 2026 Conference:
Promoting Linguistic Diversity Through CALL
The EUROCALL 2026 Conference will be held in Belfast, Northern Ireland on 8-11 September 2026 as an in-person event hosted by Ulster University.
This year’s conference theme is Promoting Linguistic Diversity Through CALL.
As technology reshapes the way languages are taught and learned, this conference focuses on how CALL research can support and maintain the teaching and learning of a wide variety of languages, including less commonly taught languages and minoritised languages. We will discuss and explore innovation in research methodologies and investigate the tools, frameworks, and experimental designs that define the future of language education.
We particularly welcome papers that apply established or emerging theories and frameworks and use quantitative and qualitative methods to support CALL research. Themes related to learning processes, assessment, and the innovative use of AI in CALL are also very welcome.
Submissions may include, but are not limited to:
- Application of theories and frameworks supporting CALL
- Emerging trends around AI in CALL
- Language corpora and data-driven learning
- Task-based Language Teaching Methodologies in CALL
- Learner assessment in CALL
- Incorporating AI in CALL teacher training
- Evaluation and re-evaluation of teaching methodologies in CALL
- Multimodal corpora of spoken language for the acquisition of oral phenomena
- Linguistic-technological approaches for analysing L2 acquisition
- Language variation in CALL
- Cultural learning in CALL
- Autonomous language learning in CALL
- Social media as a language learning environment
- Language for specific purposes in CALL
- Inclusive CALL
- CALL for social justice
- CLIL materials development in CALL
We welcome proposals from researchers and practitioners working in any areas of CALL. The conference languages are English and Irish. All proposals for papers and posters must be submitted either in English or Irish.
Authors of accepted presentations are invited to submit a short paper for publication in the online Conference Short Papers.
Join us to share your real-world experiences of CALL research and teaching and connect with our vibrant community of practitioners!
