Christine Appel presented a paper on the INTERACTIC project at the EuroCALL 25 conference held in Milan, between the 27-30th August, at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore.
The conference theme was Advancing CALL: New Research Agendas. EuroCALL was a particularly appropriate venue for this presentation, given its focus on Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL). The conference brings together a community interested in how digital tools and pedagogical approaches can support language learning, making it a good space to share and discuss work like INTERACTIC, focusing on supporting oral interaction in blended learning contexts for second language learning.
The presentation prompted useful conversations and feedback, highlighting shared challenges and interests around fostering interaction in blended settings. Overall, it was a valuable opportunity to situate the project within ongoing discussions in the CALL community.
