Meeting Description:

BAAL 2011 will be held at the University of the West of England Bristol
(UWE). The conference will be organised by the Department of English,
Linguistics and Communication with the support of the Bristol Centre for
Linguistics (BCL). The Department has hosted a wide variety of conferences
over the past ten years, including the Sociolinguistics Symposium, the
Bilingualism Symposium and the Annual conference of the Association for
French Language Studies. Most recently the first three-day conference on
Meaning and Interaction (i-Mean) was held at UWE in April 2009. 

BAAL 2011 will take place at Frenchay Campus, the main University Campus
which lies about four miles north of Bristol city centre. Buses to the
campus take around 10 minutes away from Bristol Parkway Train Station,
which is a short journey from the main Temple Meads station. There are also
good links to Bristol International Airport from various national and
international destinations. We are confident Bristol will also do its best
to contribute to a memorable conference. Located in the South West of
England, Bristol is a very energetic a quirky city, which was one of six
cities shortlisted for the European Capital of culture in 2008. Bristol
enjoys a unique location close to the coast and countryside and is within a
2 hour train journey of London (120 miles from West London). There is a lot
to see and do in this wonderful city, check out our website to get a taste
of some of Bristol's highlights, such as Brunel's Suspension Bridge over
the Avon Gorge and the SS Great Britain!

Call for Papers:

Abstracts are welcome in any area of Applied Linguistics, should be
interesting and innovative in some way, and should be of scholarly and
academically good quality and indicate clearly objectives, method(s), and
results where appropriate. Abstracts which address the conference theme
will be particularly welcome.

Deadline for Receipt of Abstracts: 5 April 2011

Please go to the BAAL conferences webpage to submit your abstract and
follow the steps below (this works best in Internet Explorer 5.5 or better): 

http://www.baal.org.uk/confs.htm. 

1. Click on 'submit an abstract to BAAL 2011 here' and register with the
system. Make sure to save your details in case you want to amend your
submission later. You will be sent an e-mail about successful registration
and submission guidelines, the latter of which you are free to ignore if
you are familiar with online abstract submission.

2. Go back to the abstract submission page, log in to the submission system
and start the submission process (you will have to answer a maximum of ten
questions). An e-mail confirmation of receipt of abstract will be sent to
you immediately. Your contact details will be included in the book of
abstracts unless you opt out during the submission process.
 
If you are unable to submit your abstract online, contact Dawn Knight at 
Dawn.Knight at nottingham.ac.uk.

Format:

- Title in Times New Roman 12 (do not use all caps, no bold print)
- Text 300 words maximum (including references, if any)
- Times New Roman 12 
- Align text left, single-spaced
- Do not use any special fonts, such as bold print or caps (italics fine)
- Do not add tables, photos, or diagrams to your abstract
- Do not indent your paragraphs, leave one space between paragraphs instead 

Abstract type:

Indicate the type of abstract that you are submitting during the submission
process: individual presentation for parallel sessions or a SIG track,
poster, or colloquium.

- Individual presentation for the parallel sessions
Individual papers have 25 minutes: 20 for the presentation, 5 for questions.

-  Individual presentation for a Special Interest Group (SIG) track
If you believe your paper is of interest to a SIG track, you may want to
submit it to one of the SIG tracks (all individuals, whether or not
officially SIG members, are eligible). The SIG may then wish to include
your paper in a track at the annual meeting. Submitting your abstract to a
SIG track may or may not lead to your paper being included in a SIG track
and has no impact on abstract acceptance to the conference. BAAL has ten
Special Interest Groups. They are (1) UK Linguistic Ethnography Forum, (2)
Corpus Linguistics, (3) Psycholinguistics, (4) Multimodality, (5) Language
Learning and Teaching, (6) Language in Africa, (7) Gender and Language, (8)
Vocabulary Studies, (9) Testing, Evaluation and Assessment, and (10)
Intercultural Communication.

- Poster
We strongly encourage the submission of abstracts for posters. We aim to
raise the profile of posters at our conference since we value them as equal
to other forms of presentation, and we believe that they tend to receive
more feedback than individual papers. All posters will be listed in the
book of abstracts, and there will be a dedicated area and time slot for
discussion of poster presentations. There will also be a prize for best
poster displayed at the conference. The winner will receive £50 and a book.

- Proposed colloquium paper
Colloquium introduction and individual papers within the colloquium must be
submitted separately, due to technical constraints. The organiser of the
colloquium should first submit colloquium title and introduction along with
an overview of paper titles in the colloquium (max 450 words). The paper
abstracts of the colloquium should then be submitted by the organiser one
by one, entitled ''Paper X of colloquium title: paper title'' followed by
the abstract (max 300 words per abstract). Colloquia have half a day and a
minimum of four papers. Colloquia proposers should plan their half day in
four slots, in step with the individual paper slots. If they wish to have a
larger number of papers, they may fit two papers into what would normally
be a single slot. Colloquia papers should cohere. The order of the papers
should not be changed after acceptance.

Scholarships:

During the abstract submission process, you will be asked to indicate
whether you want to apply for a scholarship. If so, choose the scholarship
you want to apply for and write a short paragraph (max. 200 words)
explaining why you are applying for one of the scholarships.

BAAL offers ten UK student scholarships to postgraduate students based in
the UK. The scholarships cover the registration fee. BAAL also offers two
International Scholarships, one of which is the Chris Brumfit International
Scholarship. These are worth £1,000, which goes towards registration,
accommodation, meals and travel.

All presenters have to be BAAL members by the time they register for the
conference.
