Under the theme “Prevail or Fail?”, JALTCALL 2026 invites educators, researchers, and technologists to explore how digital tools, pedagogical innovations, and AI are reshaping language teaching and learning in an age of rapid change and uncertainty. We welcome presentations that critically examine both successes and setbacks in technology-enhanced language education—projects that worked, those that didn’t, and lessons learned in between. Topics may include experimental classroom applications, data-driven research, AI and VR integration, assessment and feedback innovations, teacher training, learner autonomy, or institutional implementation. Whether your project prevailed, failed, or continues to evolve, we encourage honest reflection, rigorous analysis, and forward-looking discussion on what “success” really means in the CALL field today.
