Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics 

Call Deadline: 01-Mar-2005 

Meeting Description:

This workshop will bring together researchers who are investigating
characteristics of language produced in CLIL (content and language integrated
learning) classrooms. The points of interest may be located at any level of
linguistic organization: phonological, lexicogrammatical, pragmatic,
discoursal/textual. The purpose is to invite reflection, share experiences and
identify areas for future research and development grounded on empirical
observations on what happens in CLIL classrooms. 

Rationale of the workshop
With its combination of content and second/foreign-language education CLIL 
has become an important educational approach in many parts of the world. As
CLIL programs progressively move beyond their start-up phases, there is an
increasing awareness that research-driven expertise is necessary to ensure
sound future development. In the concert of disciplines necessary to do
justice to the multi-disciplinary and holistic features of CLIL,  at least
in the European context, Applied Linguistics is only beginning to take on
its role. 

The workshop will be concerned with issues and questions such as the
following: 
-	What are the characteristics of CLIL classroom discourse? Are these
similar/different across contexts (linguistic, institutional, cultural)? 
-	In what ways is CLIL classroom language different from (or the same as)
FL classes and/or L1 content classes? How does classroom interaction seem
to impact on teaching and learning?
-	When CLIL happens in foreign language environments, what are the
influences of the surrounding L1 culture on the CLIL classroom community? 
-	What is the role of L1 and the nature of language contact in CLIL settings?

Academic programme
Individual contributions will present research on CLIL classrooms with a
clear focus on language issues and should consider the implications of
research results for the further development of CLIL (learning goals,
formulation of curricula, teaching practices etc.) To ensure that the event
really is a workshop (rather than another string of papers), it is vital
that enough time is left for discussion. At the present stage of planning,
this would translate into a 25-minute presentation with 25 minutes for
questions and discussion. 

The working language of the workshop will be English

Organization
Date: 7 July 2005- 9 July 2005
Venue: English Department, University of Vienna

Meeting Description:

We are pleased to announce our Thirteenth Manchester Phonology Meeting
(13mfm). The mfm is the UK's annual phonology conference; it is held in
late May every year in Manchester (central in the UK and easily accessible
from the whole of the country, and with excellent international transport
connections), and is organised by people in various parts of the country,
and abroad. For the past twelve years, this meeting has been a key
conference for phonologists from all corners of the world, where anyone who
declares themselves to be interested in phonology can submit an abstract on
anything phonological. In an informal atmosphere, we discuss a wide range
of topics, including the phonological description of a wide variety of
languages, issues in phonological theory, aspects of phonological
acquisition and implications of phonological change. 

SPECIAL SESSION
There is no conference theme - abstracts can be submitted on anything, but,
following the success of such sessions in previous years, a special themed
session has been organised, entitled 'What is a phonological fact?'. This
will feature invited speakers and conclude in an open discussion session
when contributions from the audience will be very welcome. Abstracts which
attempt to answer this question (from any perspective) are certainly also
welcome.

SPECIAL SESSION SPEAKERS (in alphabetical order)
* Juliette Blevins (Max Planck Institute, Leipzig, Germany) 
* Bruce Hayes (UCLA, USA)
* Charles Reiss (Concordia University, Canada)

ABSTRACT SUBMISSION
This is a summary - please consult the website for full details
http://www.englang.ed.ac.uk/mfm/13mfm.html

* There is no obligatory conference theme - abstracts can be submitted on
anything. Abstracts should be sent to Patrick Honeybone as attachments to
an email (patrick.honeybone at ed.ac.uk) by 28th February 2005.

* Abstracts should be no longer than one side of A4, with 2.5cm or one inch
margins, single-spaced, with a font size no smaller than 12, and with
normal character spacing. 

* Please send two copies of your abstract - one of these should be
anonymous and one should include your name, affiliation and email at the
top of the page, directly below the title. All abstracts will be reviewed
anonymously by members of the organising committee and advisory board.

* Please use one of these formats for your abstract: pdf, Word, rtf, or
plain text. If you need to use a phonetic font in your abstract, either
embed it in a pdf file, or use the SIL IPA93 Doulos font, which can be
downloaded for free from this site:
http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&id=encore-ipa

* Full papers will last around 25 minutes with around 10 minutes for
questions, and there will be a high-profile poster session lasting one and
a half hours. Please indicate whether you would prefer to present your work
as an oral paper or a poster, or whether you would be prepared to present
it in either form.

* If you need technical equipment for your talk, please say so in the
message accompanying your abstract and we will do our best to provide it,
although this cannot be guaranteed. 

* We aim to finalise the programme, and to contact abstract-senders by late
March. At present, there are no plans for publishing the general
proceedings of the Meeting. We would like to keep the mfm as an informal
forum where speakers can air new ideas which are still in the early stages
of development.

Further important details concerning abstract submission are available
on the conference website - please make sure that you consult these before
submitting an abstract: http://www.englang.ed.ac.uk/mfm/13mfm.html
