Meeting Description:

First International Workshop on Technological Innovation for Specialized
Linguistic Domains: Theoretical and Methodological Perspectives

Over the last decade, research on language teaching/learning has led to an
outstanding proliferation of technological applications. Many of these are 
oriented towards restricted professional and academic contexts of use as a 
reflection of real world demands for language tuition. The multiple divergences
of such specialized linguistic domains with respect to general or standard
languages require a dedicated perspective for the computer-based teaching and
processing of what are also referred to as LSPs (Languages for Special Purposes). 

Call for Papers

This is a reminder that the deadline is fast approaching for the submission of
abstracts to TISLID'10. This event promises to be an interesting opportunity to
meet and mix with fellow researchers in an active and constantly changing field.

Over the last decade, research on language teaching/learning has led to an
outstanding proliferation of technological applications. Many of these are
oriented towards restricted professional and academic contexts of use as a
reflection of real world demands for language tuition. The multiple divergences
of such specialized linguistic domains with respect to general or standard
languages require a dedicated perspective for the computer-based teaching and
processing of what are also referred to as LSPs (Languages for Special Purposes).

TISLID'10 will be hosted by the ATLAS research group (http://atlas.uned.es) in
UNED, Madrid, 21-22 October 2010. This event will include plenary talks, keynote
speeches, workshops, short presentations, posters, and a round table debate. The
following plenary and keynote speakers have confirmed their participation:
- Dr. Elisabet Arnó, President of AELFE (European Association of Languages for
Specific Purposes)
- Dr. Ana Gimeno, President of EUROCALL (European Association for
Computer Assisted Language Learning)
- Dr. Stephen Bax, Reader in English Language, Learning, Assessment and
Technology, University of Bedfordshire
- Dr. Ricardo Mairal, Professor of English Language and Linguistics, UNED

The organisers welcome the submission of research papers dealing with
technology-supported LSP teaching/learning and processing. We particularly
encourage proposals on new theoretical and methodological foundations for the
development of LSP-based systems. Scholars interested in submitting an article
should send a 500-word abstract in electronic format by April 25th 2010 (see
abstract guidelines: http://atlas.uned.es/TISLID10/Abstract_Guidelines_v2.doc).

Submissions are also welcome for one-hour workshops and for posters. All
proposals will be subject to a double-peer blind review process. Acceptance will
be confirmed by May 25th.

Topics relevant to this workshop include (but are not limited to):
- Critical analyses of different CALL approaches
- Specificity of the processing of specialized linguistic domains vs. general
languages: types of knowledge
- Contrastive studies of different specialized linguistic domains
- AI strategies and techniques in LSP-based processing
- Principles of technology-enhanced methodology for use with sublanguages
- The use of linguistic formalisms and approaches in sublanguage-based CALL
- The use and adaptation of the Common European Framework of Reference for
Languages and other didactic frameworks for LSP
- Software tools and resources for teaching/processing LSPs

All accepted abstracts will be published on CD by UNED. Furthermore, a subset of
the best articles will be published as a separate research book. The authors in
question will be required to submit an extended version of their paper (2500-
3000 words) by July 1st 2010.

A Best Research Paper Award will be given for the most significant contribution
to the workshop in terms of theoretical and/or methodological advancement in the
area of technology-supported LSP teaching/processing. Members of the scientific
and organising committee are excluded.

The Best Research Paper Award will consist of a Certificate and a set of LSP
books and electronic materials from a specialized publisher and it will be
announced at the end of the workshop.
