Out of the virtual world… 14 June 2008

Hello, Everyone!
Just to let you all know that I will be out of touch with the Internet for two weeks starting tomorrow. Like last year, I will be traveling to SoE, East Nusa Tenggara (east of Bali Island) and teaching there. So, if you have pressing matters to discuss with me, the easiest way will be in contact with my office and get to know my cellphone number.
I might check my email in my first weekend there, if I can go to Kupang and get an Internet cafe. But who knows. Anyway, ciao for two weeks!
Yacapaca Indonesian skin done! 1 June 2008

Yup. One project done. Did 1000 something lines translated for yacapaca Indonesian skin in one day. I guess my adrenaline was just traveling faster in my system. Maybe, partly because I felt guilty to Ian, the guy behind yacapaca, who must have given me the project like years ago *hyperbolic mode ON*
Another exciting thing is looking for Ph.D. program, so I’ve been online a lot searching for schools. Unfortunately, I’m not that excited in writing up a research proposal for application. After all, you can’t get excited in many things at once. Or maybe this is my excuse for not reading oh-so-difficult academic journal articles for the reference part in my proposal. Oh, well…
Cross my fingers so I’ve got the spirit to write it…
Going around and around 22 May 2008

Just to let you know that the semester was over last two weeks, but it didn’t mean that I was out of work. In addition to the usual correction (mountain piles of them!), I was invited to speak again this year in Indonesian Fulbright Grantee pre-departure orientation in Jakarta. Plus, I was traveling to Cirebon to speak about material development using ICT in SMA Negeri 1 Cirebon (Cirebon Public Senior High School) with some professors from the Faculty of Education.
Tired? Yes. I was supposed to be relaxing at home for two weeks before summer semester begins on June 2. But I found my travel to be insightful, especially the one to Cirebon. I met some teachers and learnt first hand about how it goes in the real life of school, particularly in terms of the use of ICT.
If you miss me, sorry, for not writing for such a long time. Believe me, I miss you too! I will write again about my stuffs, hopefully very soon!
Got it! 1 March 2008

Announcing the WorldCALL 2008 Scholarship Awardees
The scholarship committee has reached its final decisions. We had an extremely difficult time deciding the awardees. Many highly qualified applicants had to be turned down purely because of budgetary constraints. Our goal was to decide on individuals who met these criteria:
- People who have been active in CALL (not just language pedagogy or administration) as evidenced by recent publications, presentations or on-going projects.
- People who exhibited in their “Statements of Purpose” a clear goal for their attendance at WorldCALL 2008 and a plan to disseminate the knowledge so gained upon their return home.
- People who represent a wide spectrum of geographical areas, balanced by gender and years of experience. Geographical selection was also, to some extent, determined in proportion to the number of applications from that area of the world.
Congratulations to those who have been selected. At the same time, we thank those who applied and sincerely regret that they, too, could not be included.
Thomas Robb, Ph.D., Chair, WorldCALL 2008 Scholarship Committee
