CALL and complexity – short papers from EUROCALL 2019

• The theme selected for the 2019 EuroCALL conference held in Louvain-la-Neuve was ‘CALL and complexity’. We decided to opt for a positive vision of complexity. As languages are known to be intrinsically and linguistically complex, as are the many determinants of learning (additional) languages, we wanted to view complexity as a challenge to be embraced collectively. The 2019 conference allowed us to pay tribute to providers of Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) solutions and to recognize the complexity of their task, to acknowledge the notion of complexity to ensure the provision of ad hoc CALL solutions, and to draw both learners’ and teachers’ attention to complexity issues so that they can make the most of their learning/teaching experience
