Meeting Description:

The Texas Foreign Language Education Conference (TexFLEC) at The University of Texas at San Antonio is an annual conference that brings together researchers, educators, and students in the fields of foreign language education, TEFL/TESL (Teaching English as a Foreign or Second Language), linguistics, and applied linguistics. TexFLEC provides conference participants with the opportunity to share diverse up-to-date ideas.

Bridging the gap between research and practice is an inevitable challenge in the field of foreign/second language pedagogy. TexFLEC unites scholars and educators from diverse contexts who strive to connect research findings to classroom practices, thus shaping the future direction of language education.

TexFLEC welcomes research studies and practice-oriented presentations that clearly establish strong connections between theory and practice in diverse contexts. Our goal is to offer an interdisciplinary forum for all those interested in research findings with implications for the classroom as well as those interested in pedagogical approaches to language learning grounded on empirical findings.

Call for Papers:

Given the diverse areas of language learning and teaching, please use these topics as guides in developing your proposals:

- Applied Linguistics
- Bilingual and Multilingual Communities
- Curriculum Design and Development
- Discourse Analysis

- Language Planning and Policy
- Language Testing and Assessment
- Language and Culture/Identity
- Language and Technology
- Psycholinguistics

Poster Presentation:

- Posters will be on display during the conference, and a separate conference session will be dedicated for poster-presenters to be present in order to explain their work and answer questions. Posters can be used to gain valuable feedback on theses, dissertations or research. This is a good format for describing a work in progress, new process or idea.

45-minute Research-Based or Practice-Oriented Presentation:

- Symposium: (Research-Based Presentation): Presenters from various perspectives
formally present and discuss original empirical research, a theoretical investigation and/ or commentary papers on research topics. 45 minute presentation followed by a short
Q&A/discussion.
