TESLCA-L is one of the CALL-related discussion mailing lists or listservs that Teaching English as Second Language educators from all over the world subscribe to.  When you subscribe to TESLCA-L, you should receive e-mails from this list everyday, and  you will be able to receive information and participate in a larger CALL discussion forum than the one we have in this class.  This is how you and I can learn the most up-to-date information about CALL without taking this course over and over again. :-)  Look upon this as an opportunity for your continuous professional development. 

• Be sure to put down your name, unless yours is also Jamie Jessup :-). 

• This e-mail will be sent to a computer, so DO NOT add in any  unnecessary words. Otherwise, you will confuse the computer.  So, as you can see, you do not need a subject line (leave it blank).   If you have an automatic e-mail signature as I do, be sure to delete those lines before you send the message out. 

• Since TESLCA-L is a branch of  TESL-L (for discussion of general ESL teaching/learning issues), you have to subscribe to TESL-L before you can subscribe to TESLCA-L.  But then, TESL-L has quite a lot of traffic each day, so I think it's better that we do not keep it.  (You can keep it, if you like. If you do, then you don't need to type in the 3rd line: SET TESL-L NOMAIL.) 

• By setting up TESLCA-L digest, we will receive only one e-mail a day that compiles all the postings for that day from the whole TESLCA-L discussion group. 

• You will receive a welcome message that is generated by the computer automatically.  It will ask you to confirm by sending a return message.  Be sure to follow the instruction and send in your confirmation.  Also, be sure to keep this message.  It contains instructions for how to participate in the discussion, to get files from the archives, to unsubscribe or stop temporarily, and many more.

You can find all kinds of language-related lists, including many foreign languages and linguistics discussion groups. 

CALICO-L  (Computer Assisted Language Instruction Consortium) 
http://www.calico.org/calico-lists.html
"CALICO-L is for the discussion of topics relating to the development, distribution and implementation of language learning courseware. Topic possibilities, as suggested by the CALICO special interest group titles, are intelligent computer-assisted language instruction, second language acquisition and technology, courseware development, foreign character fonts/asian languages, computers & pronunciation." (Note: Not much traffic.) 

FLASC-L
This is an unmoderated electronic discussion forum for people supervising and coordinating university-level foreign-language programs.  (Not just on CALL-related issues.) 

 To join, address an e-mail message to LISTSERV@UCI.EDU.  Write nothing on the subject line.  In the message area, write SUB FLASC-L (your name). 
(Note: not much traffic.) 

FLTEACH
Foreign Language Teaching Forum 
http://www.cortland.edu/www_root/flteach/flteach.html

IFETS-L 
(International Forum of Educational  Technology and Society). 
"The aim of the discussion  is to  bring  together the developers of educational systems (including artificial intelligence researchers), and the educators who implement and  manage such systems. It  is  hoped that the discussions would help the two communities to better  understand each other's role in the overall process of education and how they may support each other. 

Send a mail to ifets-request@gmd.de with the following message in the 
body (no subject needed):

(Note: Large amount of interaction. Be sure to set "digest" mode. Not language-related.)
