1st Combined Conference of The Applied Linguistics Associations of NZ and Australia

AUT University, Auckland, New Zealand

2-4 December, 2009

 

Call for papers, colloquia and posters:

Conference theme: Participation and acquisition: Exploring these metaphors in Applied Linguistics. 

A number of current debates in applied linguistics centre on Sfard's distinction between 'participation' (i.e. the idea that language use and language learning should be viewed as essentially a social phenomenon) and 'acquisition' (i.e. the idea that language use and language learning are best viewed in terms of cognitive processes). This conference invites papers that investigate either one or 
both of these metaphors.  It also welcomes papers in any area of applied linguistics that fit broadly with this theme. This will include, amongst others, critical applied language studies, research in language testing, language policy, discourse analysis and language teacher education.

We are inviting proposals for individual papers of 30 minutes (including discussion) and proposals for colloquia (2 hours maximum). We also invite proposals for posters.
