Meeting Description:

The AILA ReN on Interlocutor & Instructor Individual Differences (http://www.individualdifferencesinsla.com/) will host a Symposium on the Interlocutor October 1-2 at Indiana University.

Invited Speakers Include:

- Kimberly L. Geeslin, Indiana University: Variationist perspective
- James Lantolf, The Pennsylvania State University: Sociocultural perspective
- Diane Larsen-Freeman, University of Michigan: Complexity theory perspective
- Jenefer Philp, Lancaster University: Cognitive-interactionist perspective
- Luke Plonsky, Northern Arizona University: Methodological perspective

2nd Call for Papers:

This inaugural symposium will bring together leading and junior scholars from various second language acquisition frameworks to facilitate discussion of the theoretical role(s) of the interlocutor within their approach; consider how the individual differences of the interlocutor in each perspective may influence second/foreign language (L2) opportunities; present original, robust, peer-reviewed empirical research on interlocutor individual differences from each theoretical approach; and collaborate and outline existing trends and future areas for research. Our use of the term interlocutor refers to the input provider and communicative partner for learners in formal and informal L2 settings, and individual differences refer to characteristics that we all have, and differ by degree, such as native language, gender, research focus, and training, among others.

Details regarding proposal submission, the organizing AILA ReN, and tentative outline of the conference schedule can be found on www.individualdifferencesinsla.com.
