Linguistic Field(s): Language Acquisition 

Call Deadline: 17-May-2014 

Meeting Description:

This workshop focuses on child (4-12) foreign language acquisition in school
contexts. Research exploring how children of that age range interact while
completing communicative tasks is lacking, especially in foreign language
settings. Philp, Oliver and Mackey (2008: 13) stated that there is a need for
“rich, detailed descriptions of the many and various factors which interact to
impact a given child’s L2 development.” Thus, the conference expectes to
present studies carried out within interactionist or sociocultural approaches
and focused on different aspects of child foreign language development.


Call for Papers:

We will welcome studies carried out within interactionist or sociocultural approaches and focused on different aspects of child foreign language development. 

Topics that will fit this call for papers will be, among others:

-  Task-based interaction among children (task familiarity, planning time, attention to form … etc)
- Teacher input to young learners (instructions and models while carrying out tasks) and its impact on child language development
- L1 use 
- The role of peers in child foreign language acquisition
- Pedagogical implications for the design of age-appropriate tasks
- Child metalinguistic awareness
- Child motivation and attitude toward tasks
− Concerns and challenges in child foreign language acquisition

Abstracts must be of 300 words maximum (not including title, figures and references). Presentations will last 20 minutes and 10 more will be allowed for questions. Poster proposals are also welcomed. The language of the conference is English.

In order to submit your proposal visit our website (http://iclworkshop14.wix.com/ehugasteiz) and follow the instructions.

A limited number of papers will be selected following blind peer review. Acceptance will be announced by mid-July.
