ELT in Chile podcast episode 53: the future of Data-driven learning

In this new episode of ELT in Chile, Kevin Frank Gerigk and José Luis Poblete discuss the future of Data-Driven Learning (DDL) with Pascual Pérez-Paredes.

From classroom applications to research perspectives, we explore where DDL is heading and what opportunities it can offer teachers and students.

New ReCALL journal Impact Factor 2024

Editors-in-Chief: Alex Boulton Université de Lorraine, France and Pascual Pérez-Paredes Universidad de Murcia, Spain


ReCALL
 is the journal of the European Association for Computer Assisted Language Learning (EUROCALL). It is published by Cambridge University Press.

It seeks to fulfil the stated aims of EUROCALL as a whole, i.e. to encourage the use of technology for the learning and teaching of languages and cultures, and especially the promotion and dissemination of innovative research and practice in areas relating to CALL including, but not limited to: Applied Linguistics, Corpus Linguistics, Digital Pedagogy, Digital Literacies, Computer-Mediated Communication, Learning Analytics, Second Language Acquisition, and Educational Science. 

The journal publishes research articles that report on empirical studies (quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods), as well as occasional rigorous meta-analyses or other syntheses or surveys, and papers that make substantial contributions to theoretical, epistemological or methodological debates. Typical subjects for submissions include foreign or second language learning and development in technology-enhanced learning environments and practical applications at developmental stage, with firm theoretical anchoring in CALL; evaluative studies of the potential of technological advances in the delivery of language learning materials and enactment of language learning activities; and discussions of theory, policy or strategy at institutional and disciplinary levels with clear connections to technology-mediated language learning. 

ReCALL is a Gold Open Access journal.

Some memories from Corpus Linguistics 2025

Birmingham, UK, 30th June – 3rd July 2025

13TH International Corpus Linguistics Conference (CL2025), co-organised by Aston University, Birmingham City University and the University of Birmingham.

The weekend after the conference, the Back to the Beginning final Black Sabbath concert took place.

Robbi Love (Aston) and Joyce Lim (Aston) did a wonderful job, massive congrats!!!!

My plenary: “Corpus Linguistics and AI in the reconfiguration of language learning ecologies”. You can find the abstract and references here.

Always good to see old friends; from left to right, Laurence Anthony, Dawn Knight and Paul Thompson.

Great conversations with Laurence Antohny; we seem to coincide often lately 🙂

Great plenary by Charlotte Taylor & Anna Marchi

Another great plenary, this one by Gavin Brookes
