See you all at this wonderful conference!

Notes:

  1. We have sent notifications to authors who wish to submit their papers to CALL-EJ for the next steps. In case your paper was NOT suggested, you can submit it to either AsiaCALL Online Journal at https://asiacall-acoj.org or AsiaCALL Proceedings at https://asiacall.info/proceedings.
  2. As you submit your paper to our journals, please keep an eye on the journal websites for replies to messages sent by the editors for similarity indexes, AI writing, or reviews.
  3. Many authors still leave messages in the journals with no answers, so we cannot move to the next steps.

Dear colleagues,

Thank you very much for your interest in attending the 21st AsiaCALL International Conference at the Industrial University of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, from 22-24 November 2024 (24 Nov. for Pre-Conference).

This year, we received 182 abstract submissions of 343 authors from 19 different countries, including UK, Bangladesh, Canada, India, Australia, USA, Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore, China, Finland, Japan, Indonesia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, India, Hongkong (China), Malaysia, Cambodia, Brunei, and Vietnam.

That's wonderful! This will be a good chance for us to get together to share our research and experience, especially AI in language teaching and learning.

Regarding the publication in the Computer-Assisted Language Learning Electronic Journal (CALL-EJ) (Scopus-Q1), we send you the CALL-EJ Template. It looks like the one for AsiaCALL Online Journal and AsiaCALL Proceedings, so that in case your paper is not considered for publication in the CALL-EJ, you don't need to change much. You just need to submit it to our other journals.

That is easy to understand because only high-quality papers will be considered for CALL-EJ.

Besides, we also might have an edited book (Book Chapters), published by Springer Nature, for you to have other chances to get your paper published. We were accepted by Springer Nature already, but we need time to proceed with other steps. We will inform you about it later.

Those are all the best opportunities we have conducted to help you, who join our AsiaCALL Conference, to have more choices.

Here are some things that you need to keep in mind:

  1. If you wish your paper to be considered for publication in CALL-EJ, please use the attached template to reformat your paper and send it to email: asiacallconference@gmail.com for initial steps of paper screening. The deadline stated in the website for full paper submission is 15 September 2024. However, you can submit your papers between 15 - 25 September 2024 to make your papers more qualified. 
  2. Only papers whose authors attend and present their papers, physically for Vietnamese and foreigners, and only-online for foreigners, will be considered for publications in the CALL-EJ and book chapters (Springer). In case some who will not attend the conference will be considered for publication in the Proceedings or AsiaCALL Online Journals, and they have to pay for the regular publication fee of each journal. 

Thank you

We hope that AsiaCALL International Conference this year will bring you wonderful experiences.

See you all at the conference!

Best regards!
