Language Learning and Teaching (PSLLT) conference, which was to be held in Niagara, Canada, and moved it to June of 2021. It has now become clear that COVID-19 will not be completely under control by then, so we have decided to make PSLLT 2021 a virtual conference.
Below, please find a new call for proposals. The conference website is: <a href="https://brocku.ca/psllt-2021/">

and teaching, in all second languages and contexts. We hope the online nature of the conference will encourage participation from both seasoned participants as well as international L2 pronunciation colleagues who might not normally be able to attend a PSLLT
conference in person. If you submitted a proposal for the 2020 PSLLT Conference and did not withdraw the proposal when the conference was delayed, we ask that you resubmit it to the 2021 Virtual PSLLT Conference submission site so we can keep all submissions
in a single database. More information on the virtual platform to be used during the conference will be provided in the coming months.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
