.http://call4alllanguages.ning.com/ is a Language Forum for sharing CALL sites, program and Collaboration Proposals. Here's one for any interested language teachers employing CALL and wanting a means to study it using a CMS: I write to invite you to invite you and anyone on your staff to use my co-researcher's course content management system to manage your classes and to conduct research together.
The site (http://www.ituzi.net) is a Moodle-based system that includes hundreds of materials for you to use in your classes and in research. The site will allow you to: *Keep attendance *Record grades - Export to a spreadsheet *Establish a course schedule with events and activities listed.
*Create- administer - and analyze tests and questionnaires *Use blogs, forums, chats, wikis, etc in the classroom *Upload all activities *Upload handouts, Flash materials, presentations, MP3, etc for students to use *The ability to add your own content to your classes. These materials can be shared or held privately for your own classes.
The site also includes:*Questions for the 3000 most frequently used words broken into 5 bands for students to practice OR be tested with; *Dozens of timed reading activities written in HotPotatoes, which can
also be graded *Dozens of listening activities using MP3s and CLOZE; *Dozens of ready made handouts
The real reason I am inviting you to the site is to conduct research on SLA. You may also be interested in doing collaborative research on vocabulary acquisition using Wordchamp or Flashcard Exchange, or on the effectiveness of web-based word processors like GoogleDocs or Zoho. I would like to invite you to post your classes here and work together with us or anyone else on the site to conduct research. There are many possibilities here for research and publication. The site provides an excellent structure to share materials, store research data, and collaborate with others while we investigate the impact of technology on language acquisition and language teaching.

That is interesting news: a new article in CALICO and your engineering article - would love to read it. As to our project, I am a little bit in doubt whether we can prove effect of the Comp.Dict. use in reading comprehension and writing skills. Just read a bit in Martin East's recent publication and found the results rather disappointing (in terms of differences in achievement between "with" and "without" groups).
"Have sis in Wein"- ehm, beg your pardon, can't quite follow here.
Best wishes - great hearning/reading from you,
Ralf
Vie Gehts Ralf! Villkommen again. Vupertall eh? Had good AILA conference in Essen last Sept. Were U there? What kinds of PEDs R your Ss using? Have done another more up to date article that will come out in CALICO but in 2011 so kinda long to wait. But U can also see a 2007 Engineering article on Computerized Dictys if U'd like. Have sis in Wein. Small world, eh?
thanks for the warm welcome! I actually came across your 2006 paper on maximizing vocabulary growth by using VLS in combination with electronic dictionaries in the web. I read it last night and found it quite inspiring as we are about to launch a research project on the use of PEDs with low proficiency learners in secondary schools. PEDs are just beginning to spread here in this part of the world...
