To ensure smooth communication and collaboration, here are some troubleshooting tips to address common issues:

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.
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.
Clear Browser Cache: Sometimes, cached data can cause conflicts or issues. Clear the browser cache and cookies before joining the meeting.
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.
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.
Restart Your Device: If you encounter persistent issues, try restarting your computer or mobile device. This can help resolve various software-related problems.
Use Supported Browsers: Ensure you are using a browser supported by the meeting platform. Recommended browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Brave.
Allow Necessary Permissions: Make sure the Dryfta meeting platform has the required permissions to access your microphone, camera, and other necessary features.
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.
Switch Devices: If possible, try joining the meeting from a different device to see if the problem is specific to one device.
Reduce Bandwidth Usage: In cases of slow or unstable internet connections, ask participants to disable video or share video selectively to reduce bandwidth consumption.
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 Outdated drivers can cause compatibility issues with the Dryfta meeting platform.
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.

In January 2007, the first AILA Europe Junior Researchers Meeting (JMR) took place at the University of Groningen. Since then, the JRM has been held in various European countries, amongst them Ireland, Finland, Germany, and Switzerland and at this symposium we would like to integrate the JRM into the larger AILA conference. The aim of JRMs is to promote young researchers in Applied Linguistics from all over Europe by providing a platform in which they can present and discuss their research findings, ongoing studies and projects in an interactive and informal international environment. Junior Researchers include those working on their Master's and PhD theses, as well as those who have graduated within the last three years. In this symposium (two slots), we would like for junior researchers to present their papers on any topic within applied linguistics, but preferably on the conference theme "The dynamics of language, communication and culture in a changing world". Presenters will be asked about the kind of feedback or help they need and the organizers will invite designated senior researchers as commentators to foster questions and discussion.

View Abstract

Finnish language learning in Integration Training for Adult Immigrants in Finland: part-of-the-training participants

Standard 02:30 PM - 06:00 PM (Europe/Amsterdam) 2021/08/17 12:30:00 UTC - 2022/08/17 16:00:00 UTC

This study investigates adult migrants participating in only a part of Integration Training and these participants' Finnish language proficiency at the end of the training. Also, participants' interviews about learning Finnish are analysed. The training, that contains mostly language studies, is criticised for language learning results that are considered to be weak. The aim of this research is to display participants' heterogenous situations in the flexible training program and how part-of-the-training participation affects the language learning results.

Exploring game-based late L2 literacy training of adult migrants with limited educational backgrounds: Technology-enhanced or technology-exhausted learning?

StandardAILA Symposium 02:30 PM - 06:00 PM (Europe/Amsterdam) 2021/08/17 12:30:00 UTC - 2022/08/17 16:00:00 UTC

Gamified digital support for initial literacy skill development of adult migrants with limited L1 literacy. The COVID-19 pandemic turned an efficacy field-testing study with adult literacy learners into an online-based exchange of experiences and ideas with their literacy teachers testing the app instead.
