In a symposium on sustainability and inter university collaboration, the underpinning of this growth by various stakeholders, with both successes and pitfalls, is illustrated by means of practical cases in order to feed an ensuing round table discussion on the leading questions: how can networking guarantee sustainability of cooperation projects? What role do online environments and platforms play in setting up sustainable networks and in supporting joint projects during and beyond their life span? The presentations covered Capacity Building in International Cooperation (Lut Baten), Faculty Identity and FL Planning (Liliana del Pilar Gallego) Assessment Literacy and Certification (Ivonne PenaCollada and Claudia Harsch) Developing Intercultural Communicative Competence (Ana Vivian Fernandez Peraza) , Virtual Exchange & social entrepreneurship) (Sake Jager). The symposium paved the way to launching LatinCALL, an association for sustainment and promotion of networking forCALL in Latin and Central America.

Learners’ self-initiated language learning with mobile technology occurring outside the classroom... more Learners’ self-initiated language learning with mobile technology occurring outside the classroom is often contextualized, heterogeneous, and idiosyncratic. In this study, we propose a time-series clustering methodology for researching informal mobile language learners’ learning and development of another language, with a view to unravelling the essential uniquenesses and commonalities in learners’ developmental processes. Intensive longitudinal writing samples from nine English learners in China were collected and analysed with the methodology proposed, which first depicted individual-level developmental trajectories of writing complexity that were often idiographic or individual-specific, and then distilled salient developmental patterns that transcended the individual heterogeneity. These typically occurring patterns across individuals demonstrated a more predictable and interpretable manifestation of informal language learners’ developmental processes. Methodological and pedagogical implications of adopting the time-series clustering methodology are discussed.
