Meeting Description:

The Pacific Second Language Research Forum is a venue for data-based and
theoretical papers on areas of basic research in Second Language Acquisition (SLA).

*First announcement*

We are pleased to announce that the 5th Pacific Second Language Research Forum
will be held in Brisbane, Australia, July 4-6, 2006. The meeting is a venue for
data-based and theoretical papers on Second Language Acquisition (SLA). Topics
include, but are not limited to, SLA in instructed and naturalistic settings;
the effects of second language (L2) instruction on the rate and route of L2
development; the role of individual differences (in e.g., aptitude, age,
personality, motivation) in SLA; competing models of SLA processes; SLA theory
construction; the acquisition of L2 pragmatics; bilingualism; the influence of
cognitive variables (e.g., memory and attention) on L2 learning and use; the
assessment of L2 use and development; methodological issues in research into L2
acquisition.

The meeting will feature international plenary speakers and invited colloquia in
the areas of computer mediated SLA, interactionist accounts of SLA, generative
approaches to SLA, processibility theory and pragmatics.

The Call for Papers will appear in June 2005.

PacSLRF06 is part of LINQ06, a series of linguistic and applied linguistic
events taking place in Queensland in July. Other meetings include the annual
meetings of the Applied Linguistics Association of Australia (July 6-8)  and the
Australian Linguistic Society (July 7-9, and the biennial Australian Linguistic
Institute (July 10-14). All events will be held on the University of Queensland
campus.
