[Francis M Hult]

> CALL FOR PAPERS:
> 
> The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign will host the 30th annual
> Second Language Research Forum on October 11th - October 14th, 2007.  The
> theme of SLRF 2007 is "Second Language Acquisition and Research: Focus on
> Form and Function". In order to explore the myriad ways in which learners
> map the forms they acquire to the functions that the forms are required to
> serve, research presented at this conference will highlight the
> interconnections and interfaces between form and function in SLA research
> and practices. It will also explore the implications of these interfaces for
> second language pedagogy.
