This issue is the first available exclusively through Equinox Publishing (http://www.equinoxpub.com/home/journals/calico). The CALICO Journal was first published by CALICO in 1983-which makes it the publication on CALL with the longest pedigree. The Journal appeared online as well as print form and then migrated to online only in 2007 (issue 25.1). Since 2011, it has been produced and published on the Open Journal System (OJS). It became apparent to us that the 'in-house' publication by CALICO would not be sustainable over the long term and we began to explore other options in early 2013. The resulting partnership with Equinox Publishing was sealed the following summer. During the transition period over the last couple of months, the 31-year archive of the Journal has been transferred to the OJS at Equinox. The databases with authors, reviewers, subscribers, and registered readers are also fully functional on the new OJS server. We are very grateful to colleagues at Equinox for the commitment to the CALICO Journal, their immense work during the transition, and their professional support. We have had every indication that the members of CALICO, our authors and readers, and the scholarly CALL community at large will reap substantial benefits from this new beginning. The Journal will continue to contain high-quality research articles on CALL and reviews of learning technologies and relevant books, which will appear three times a year in January, May, and September. Reviews will remain open access at http://www.equinoxpub.com/journals/index.php/CALICO; and research articles will become open access after a three-year embargo period. With the help of Equinox, this research and the reviews will reach a much

The technology component of our learning design plays a central role in this article. The main part is dedicated to the analysis and interpretation of student data collected in two different groups during two subsequent semesters. After a general discussion of the learning design of the course and task-based language learning, we analyze the interaction between two sets of factors: 1) the students' use of information and communication technologies and their perception thereof, and 2) students' perception of and participation in task-based instruction and group work.

We view both the language learning of students in this hybrid course and the development as activity systems (Engeström, 1987; Mwanza & Engeström, 2005), describe the individual components of each system in their interrelation and show how the two systems are interconnected. Such an approach to the description of materials development enables us to conceptualize the complexities of the development process in that it goes well beyond traditional software documentation.

This research timeline provides a systematic overview of the contributions of computer-assisted language learning (CALL) to the role, nature, and development of individual practice in language learning. We focus on written language practice in Tutorial CALL, corrective feedback and language awareness-raising in Intelligent CALL (ICALL), and individualization of the learning process through tailoring of learning sequences and contingent guidance.

Over the past two and a half years, we have interacted with a large group of people: authors, reviewers, copy-editors, editorial assistants, layouters, subscription manager, technical support at Public Knowledge Project who provide the services of the Open Journal System, student volunteers, members of CJ's editorial board and CALICO's executive board, and editors of other journals in CALL and in Applied Linguistics and dealt with and benefited from enquiries from indexing and abstracting companies, publishers, and research service providers. We have worked with Izabela Uscinski (editorial assistant), Elinor Dirette (copy editor), Osman Solmaz (social media coordinator), Dan Nickolai (CJ audio coordinator), and the former members of the editorial board-Ruth Sanders, Nina Garrett, and Mary-Ann Lyman Hagerand with Claire Bradin-Siskin, Jack Burston, Marie-Noëlle Lamy, and Noriko Nagata-all board members whose service term comes to an end at this year's CALICO conference. We are very grateful for their many and various contributions. Of course, the quality (and quantity) of manuscripts our authors submit is CJ's backbone. We publish roughly six research articles per regular issue and have received well over 100 unsolicited manuscripts during our tenure as editors. If you add to this number the articles submitted for special issues, invited review articles, and book and software reviews, the sheer volume is substantial. It is therefore our large group of reviewers who impact the quality of the articles you are reading and the timeliness of the published issues the most. More than 300 reviewers are currently volunteering their time, energy, and expertise for CJ. They represent the breadth of research in CALL in all its subfields as well as the geographic and linguistic distribution of CJ's readers and authors. A submitted manuscript is sent out to at least three external reviewers, after passing the in-house review, which is normally conducted by three reviewers. Even the many promising manuscripts, which have received enthusiastic reviews in the first round go through a second round of peer review. So each of the articles in this issue of the CALICO Journal will have been read by six to nine different reviewers, the editors, the editorial assistant, and the layouter before it reaches you-the reader. Each external reviewer fills out CJ's review form by answering a few multiple choice questions that help us gain an impression of the overall perceived quality of the submission and s/he provides us with a recommendation: Accept submission, Revisions required, Resubmit for review, Resubmit elsewhere, or Decline submission. Most importantly, each reviewer also provides the author(s) with general comments and detailed suggestions for recommended changes and can send confidential comments to the editors. To maintain and improve the quality of the research published in CJ, we rely on a double-blind peer review: the identity of the author(s) will not be revealed to the reviewers and vice versa. Therefore reviewers are asked to refrain from identifying themselves in the comments and suggestions to the author(s). This is also why we require authors to refer to themselves as "Author" in the manuscript. Each blind review serves two functions that are equally important. (1) Based on the reviewer's expertise as a researcher, the review provides an evaluation of the manuscript, which will inform the editors' decision about the publication or rejection of the

We further discuss two of our own systems and show how different types of CALL programs can, nonetheless, share similar conceptual designs of a student model. First, we describe the German Tutor, an Intelligent Language Tutoring System (ILTS) for German as a Second Language which contains a parser and a grammar that analyze student input. The student model is based on student subject matter performance and provides feedback and remedial exercises suited to learner expertise. Second, we provide an overview of Geroline, an online distance education course for ab initio German learners, and its student model. We show how a student model can support computerized adaptive language testing for diagnostic purposes in a Web-based language learning environment which does not rely on parsing technology. Here, student scores from libraries of sentence-based exercises are used as the raw input for the model.

The first part of the discussion will be dedicated to theoretical perspectives and conceptual frameworks grounding such research in the context of CALL. The second part will focus on data elicitation methods for learner-task-tool interactions at the computer; more specifically, it will emphasize quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis by examining the product and the process of the interactions as well as the learner’s perception of these interactions. The last part of the symposium will consist of a discussion panel in which all six participants will weight strengths and limitations, successes and challenges, as well as lessons learned in light of their research experiences. By responding and integrating feedback from the audience, the discussion will focus on the ways in which a conceptual framework can guide researchers in producing sustainable CALL research methods, data and tools.
