To ensure smooth communication and collaboration, here are some troubleshooting tips to address common issues:
  1. Check Internet Connection: Verify that you have a stable and reliable internet connection. Use a wired connection when possible, as it tends to be more stable than Wi-Fi. If using Wi-Fi, make sure you have a strong signal.
  2. Update the Browser or App: Ensure that you are using the latest version of the web browser. Developers frequently release updates to address bugs and improve performance.
  3. Clear Browser Cache: Sometimes, cached data can cause conflicts or issues. Clear the browser cache and cookies before joining the meeting.
  4. Test Audio and Video: Before the meeting, check your microphone and camera to ensure they are working correctly. If you are a speaker, you can click on "Start Practice Session" button test to ensure audio and video devices are functioning.
  5. Close Other Applications: Running multiple applications in the background can consume system resources and lead to performance issues. Close unnecessary apps to free up resources for the Dryfta meeting platform.
  6. Restart Your Device: If you encounter persistent issues, try restarting your computer or mobile device. This can help resolve various software-related problems.
  7. Use Supported Browsers: Ensure you are using a browser supported by the meeting platform. Recommended browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Brave.
  8. Allow Necessary Permissions: Make sure the Dryfta meeting platform has the required permissions to access your microphone, camera, and other necessary features.
  9. Disable VPN or Firewall: Sometimes, VPNs or firewalls can interfere with the connection to the meeting platform. Temporarily disable them and see if the issue persists.
  10. Switch Devices: If possible, try joining the meeting from a different device to see if the problem is specific to one device.
  11. Reduce Bandwidth Usage: In cases of slow or unstable internet connections, ask participants to disable video or share video selectively to reduce bandwidth consumption.
  12. Update Drivers and Software: Ensure your operating system, audio drivers, and video drivers are up to date. Outdated drivers can cause compatibility issues with the Dryfta meeting platform.
  13. Contact Support: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, reach out to the platform's support team. They can provide personalized assistance and troubleshoot specific problems.
By following these troubleshooting tips, you can tackle many common problems encountered on Dryfta meeting platform and have a more productive and seamless meeting experience.

Session Information

The role of women in the history of language learning and teaching (HoLLT) has so far been largely neglected. This HoLLT AILA research network symposium considers the ways and channels by which as well as possible reasons why this has been the case, in different linguistic and cultural contexts. The fact that the contribution of half of the language learning community has been consistently overlooked in the historiography of language education may, for example, be due to an over-emphasis on theorists or on certain types of source, as well as the circumstance that women were not in a position to make their voices heard. It is high time to award female language learners and teachers the attention they deserve and to re-evaluate their contribution to the history of language language learning and teaching outside traditional frameworks as well as within institutional contexts. Topics from the field of the history of language learning and teaching may include, but are not limited to: a) Language schools and institutes for women; b) Language books for women; c) Construction of gender and gender stereotypes in language books; d) Women, education and languages; e) Women as language educators and learners; f) Sexism and discrimination against women within language education.
