The International Society for Language Studies (ISLS) encourages and promotes critical discourse and research in language matters, broadly conceived.  Papers may be submitted for the following session strands: 

-	Discourse and Identity
-	Education
-	Interdisciplinary Foci
-	Language Professions
-	Pedagogy
-	Policy
-	Research Methodology
-	Technology

Presentation proposals are accepted via the ISLS website. Various presentation formats are possible: individual paper, paper session, seminar. We particularly encourage multiple paper proposals as a  venue for scholars engaged in research and dialogue on special interest topics.  

As an international organization with members from every continent, ISLS encourages a multilingual event. Although the principal language of the conference will be English, authors may submit proposals and present papers in the language of their choice. In an effort to appeal to the broadest of audiences and to ensure both audience attendance and participation in conference sessions, authors are strongly encouraged to prepare support materials (hand-outs, overhead transparencies, slides, concurrent bilingual translation) in a language likely to be common to attendees. Sessions will be organized by topic, not language, unless a group of authors propose an entire session.

Deadline for proposals: October 1, 2004.
Conference Chair: John Watzke.

The ISLS Conference directly follows the 2005 American Educational Research Association (AERA)  conference.
