EUROCALL 2007 focuses on "Mastering Multimedia: Teaching Languages Through Technology" and will be held in the University of Ulster, Coleraine, Northern Ireland.

As the use of multimedia technologies has become an increasingly integral part of language learning, the challenge is to ensure that educators have a sufficient knowledge of the technology and underlying pedagogical issues to use it to maximum effect in the classroom.  Furthermore, in the research-driven world of academia, it is important that research in the area of multimedia technologies is not seen as secondary and less serious than other forms of research in language learning but rather as a area of considerable importance and merit. Consequently, the major challenge we face is to continue to build upon the distinguished profile of multimedia-based research in the area of language learning.
