<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:115%"><span style="color:#002060">In focusing on “Making Research Matter,” CLLC 2018 seeks to stimulate conversations on how research and its uses in society might be transformed if more of us were
to make a point of asking <i>for what, for whom, </i>and<i> by whom</i> research is being conducted at the outset of every investigation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:115%"><span style="color:#002060"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:115%"><span style="color:#002060">Our aim is to involve a diverse group of educators, language learners, researchers, assessment specialists, instructional designers, administrators, policy-makers,
community members, and other stakeholders in a multidirectional sharing of values and expertise. We especially welcome proposals involving projects in which the investigators considered the users and uses of their research from the very beginning and made
decisions accordingly—from action-research projects conducted by individual teachers in their classrooms to larger-scale funded endeavors where collaborative teams had an eye toward wider public engagement and policy impacts, and everything in between.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:115%"><span style="color:#002060">We hope that conference participants’ experiences at CLLC 2018 will yield insights, tools, and connections that improve all groups’ abilities to formulate meaningful
research questions; identify collaborators and establish research-practice partnerships; recruit and involve research participants in ways that maximize their benefits; make the results accessible to a variety of audiences; and ensure that findings are not
misinterpreted in public conversations and policy debates. By working together to promote
<i>Motivated Inquiry for Actionable Insights</i>,<i> </i>we may be even better equipped to improve educational policies and practices related to language, learning, and culture.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
