Meeting Description:


Applying insights from modern linguistics to language teaching and teacher

education is anything but new. However, recent years have seen a development

of approaches within modern linguistics that aim to reach out and engage more

actively with the field of language pedagogy. Given the conceptual background

of established language-teaching methodologies such as Communicative Language

Teaching or Critical Pedagogy, modern teacher education has shifted from the

rigorous study of language structure to a focus on communicative and

sociolinguistic underpinnings of teaching languages in a classroom. Our

workshop aims at building new bridges that close the gap between this ‘social

turn’ in educational linguistics and modern formal approaches to natural

language, to eventually explore new teaching methodologies.



We are particularly interested in current accounts in the language sciences

that systematically revise and manipulate existing teaching methods in the

second language classroom and that explore how different manipulations


facilitate the learning of a second language. In many linguistic approaches to

second language acquisition, language teaching is already being used as an

important variable –- and from here it is but a short step to developing

psychologically sound teaching materials for language pedagogy. The overall

goal of this workshop is to see a subsequent integration of issues and


insights from modern linguistics into language-teaching practice.
