Meeting Description:

The second international conference on Constructionist Approaches to Language Pedagogy (CALP 2) will take place at the University of Basel, Switzerland, on June, 10 and 11, 2016.

After the successful event of CALP 1 at the University of Brussels in November 2013, this second conference will specifically focus on usage-based foundations of L2 pedagogy, that is, on the intersections of usage-based (second) language acquisition research and constructionist approaches to (second) language learning, teaching, and assessment.

The conference themes will include theoretical and empirical perspectives on (1) input and interaction, (2) implicit and explicit (second) language learning and teaching, and (3) individual differences (in the domains of aptitude, motivation, or cognition), as well as implications for (second) language assessment.

Confirmed Keynote Speakers:

Lourdes Ortega, Georgetown University, Washington, DC
Ewa Dabrowska, Northumbria University, Newcastle-upon-Tyne

Organizers:

Karin Madlener & Heike Behrens, University of Basel
Catherine Diederich, Florent Pérek & Julia Vögelin, University of Basel
Alexander Ziem, University of Düsseldorf

Final Call for Papers:

Extended Deadline:

The deadline for abstract submissions to CALP 2 has been extended: The new and final deadline of submission is September 12, 2015.

CALP 2, the second international conference on Constructionist Approaches to Language Pedagogy, will take place at the University of Basel, Switzerland, on June, 10 and 11, 2016.

Conference Website:

We invite theoretical, methodological, empirical, and pedagogical contributions focusing on:

Usage-based/constructionist approaches to (second) language learning and teaching, for instance,

- learning processes, such as entrenchment, categorization, schematization, and generalization
- item-specific vs. item-general constructional knowledge and the lexicon-grammar continuum
- input/intake, input distributions, input processing, and input enhancement
- interaction, negotiation, elaboration, output, and feedback
- (selective) attention, noticing, and interfaces between implicit/incidental and explicit/intentional (second) language learning and teaching, including age effects
- individual differences in the domains of affect/motivation, aptitude/cognition (e.g., working memory, pattern recognition ability), and learned attention/conceptualization

Usage-based/constructionist approaches to (second) language assessment, primarily with regards to:

- varying degrees of productivity and the distinction between item-specific and item-general knowledge/patterns
- information packaging, degrees of explicitness, and pragmatic adequacy
- the elicitation of contextualized, meaningful language use
- the use and significance of structural priming and scaffolding in language testing

Format: Individual paper presentations (30 minute slots including 10 minutes for discussion). The workshop language is English for both abstracts and talks.

Abstracts can be submitted through ConfTool (see https://germa.unibas.ch/forschung/tagungen-und-konferenzen/calp2/submission/ for the submission guidelines).
Please create a user account at https://www.conftool.net/calp2/, log in, select „Your Submissions“ in your main menu, then select „Full Paper“ at the bottom of the page to open the submission form.

Please submit abstracts of up to 600 words (including references). References should be formatted according to the APA guidelines.
 All submissions will be subject to double-blind peer review, so please make sure your abstract is anonymous. You may submit only one abstract as single/main author and figure on one more abstract as a co-author.
