Meeting Description:

Theme: Linguistics and Education - Honoring Franklin E. Horowitz

On the occasion of the 60th Annual Conference of the International Linguistic Association, we pay special tribute to Franklin Horowitz, who has been an active and dedicated member of the ILA from its earliest years, joined the Executive Board in 1989, and served as its president from 1999 to 2002. A professor of linguistics at Teachers College, Columbia University for over 35 years, Frank’s enthusiasm for language inspired legions of graduate students, who continue the work of teaching linguistics to their own students around the world. His influence has been enormous, both as a leader of the ILA and as a teacher.

Plenary Speakers:

Ellen Bialystok, York University
William Labov, University of Pennsylvania
Raymond McDermott, Stanford University 
Jacob Mey, University of Southern Denmark 

Invited Panels:

WORD Global Roundtable. On the occasion of the re-launch of WORD, journal of the ILA, Teachers College, Columbia University and Beijing Normal University will host a simulcast roundtable co-chaired by WORD's managing editor Jonathan J. Webster and ILA's president, Jo Anne Kleifgen. Our panelists will be Sheila Embleton, Michael Halliday, Ruqayia Hasan, William Labov, and Jacob Mey.

Rethinking the Relationship between Linguistics and Education. Betsy Rymes, Andrea Leone, Mark Lewis, Robert Moore and Nelson Flores of the University of Pennsylvania's Graduate school of Education, will explore themes in language research in education.

Workshops for Teachers:

The Writer's Sentence: From Casual to Formal Writing. Alice Deakins of William Paterson University and colleagues will present four increasingly complex levels of the English sentence, including both grammatical conventions and stylistic power. At each level, the structure of the sentence will be discussed followed by practice in a game format.

Having Fun with Words. Kate Parry of Hunter College, CUNY and colleagues will focus on the problem of learning infrequently encountered vocabulary. Participants will engage in games or exercises requiring interactive discussion about the selected words. Materials that teachers can use with their students will be provided.

2nd Call for Papers:

Extended Deadline: Saturday, January 31, 2015
Theme: Linguistics and Education - Honoring Franklin E. Horowitz

On the occasion of the 60th Annual Conference of the International Linguistic Association, we pay special tribute to Franklin Horowitz, who has been a dedicated member of the ILA from its earliest years. We invite papers related to the various subfields of linguistics as they are applied to education. The influence of linguistics on education is wide-ranging. It encompasses the teaching of second and foreign languages; the education of emergent bilinguals and speakers of various dialects; educating for language awareness, linguistic diversity, and equity; research on language and the Internet; language planning and policy studies; the critique of political and media discourse; and the revitalization of indigenous and endangered languages. The ILA invites submissions that explore these and other connections between linguistics and education. In keeping with the ILA tradition, we also welcome proposals that treat other areas of linguistics.

Proposal Guidelines:

The ILA program committee welcomes the submission of individual papers and posters. An abstract of up to 400 words is required. Proposals will be blind reviewed for quality and originality. Submissions should mainly contain new material and must not have been published previously in order to be considered. This year’s conference will include invited panels only.

All proposals should be emailed in a MSWord (.doc, .docx) file and using “ILA2015” in the subject line, to Annika Wendt, Conference Coordinator at awendt at ilaword.org 

Proposal deadline: Saturday, January 31, 2015
Notification of acceptance: Sunday, February 15, 2015
Registration requirement: Presenters’ registration fees must be received by March 20, 2015.

Send inquiries to one of the Co-Chairs: Jo Anne Kleifgen, jk217 at columbia.edu or Shoba Bandi-Rao, sbandirao at bmcc.cuny.edu
