Location: York, United Kingdom 
Contact Person: Heather Marsden
Meeting Email: sla-workshop at events.york.ac.uk

Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics; Language Acquisition 

Call Deadline: 23-Apr-2010 

Meeting Description:

The objective of this one-day workshop is to explore ways of promoting
crossfertilisation between theoretical, second language acquisition research and
language teaching research--two related fields that have thus far rarely engaged
in dialogue. Specifically, we aim to consider how the findings of generative
second language acquisition research might apply to language teaching.

Invited Speaker: Roumyana Slabakova 

Call for Papers

Proposals are invited for papers and posters on the following questions, or
other topics relevant to the aims of the workshop:

- How can generative L2 acquisition research inform language classroom practice?
- How can specific empirical findings from generative L2 acquisition be applied
to language teaching?
- What do language teachers need from theoretical L2 acquisition research?
- What effects do different types of input have on underlying L2 competence?
- How can investigators measure the effects of teaching on underlying L2 competence?

All abstracts for papers and posters should be limited to one page (A4 size),
using single-spaced Times New Roman font, or similar. An additional page may be
used for references.

Paper presentations will be 20 minutes long, followed by a 10-minute discussion
period.

Posters are intended for one-on-one discussion of research. Proposals for
posters on work in progress are encouraged. 

Abstracts (one anonymous and one with author name(s)) should be sent to:
sla-workshop at events.york.ac.uk

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as 
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These

(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact 
your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match 
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your 
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the 
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple 
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company 
operates such a program.
