Meeting Description:

The Department of Languages and Cultures at West Chester University
with the Chester County Intermediate Unit (CCIU) are pleased to host the Sixth TESOL/Applied Linguistics/Foreign Languages (TALFL) Conference - Aim High, Reach High.

April 16, 2016
Graduate Business Center
West Chester University
West Chester, PA, USA

Conference Theme:

Teachers generally recognize that it is necessary to aim high to attain the desired outcome, but many face the challenge of how to do so effectively in language learning tasks. This year’s TALFL Conference is designed to provide a platform for an exchange of views and sharing experiences on the teaching practices that promote language learners’ development in the classroom. The conference welcomes presentations that address students’ needs and teachers’ actions that enhance students’ language development. The topic of goal setting and attainment can be examined in a wide range of areas of language learning, including (though not limited to) teaching methodology, materials development, assessment and learning, and technology.



Call for Papers:

Proposals are now being sought for the sixth TESOL/Applied Linguistics/Foreign Languages (TALFL) Conference which will be held on April 16, 2016. The theme for the conference is “Aim High, Reach High.” Proposals of practical, empirical, and/or theoretical work which address or demonstrate the topic are invited.

Submit your proposal here:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1igee7gZcGu1Z2quSfTzm48fBM2GSSTVesG-gNEsycME/viewform

Proposals are invited for the following categories:

- Papers

Papers are presentations by one or more authors. Presentation time for papers will be 20 minutes plus 10 minutes for Q&A and discussion.

- Poster Presentations

Poster presentations are designed to depict a topic by means of pictures and brief notes. Many possible topics suitable for posters can be pursued, from research notes to a detailed lesson plan. For example, a language learning field trip for students could be depicted with pictures, maps, and samples of materials. Posters will be on display during a set time to be announced later. Presenters will be expected to remain at the presentation site (a bulletin board) in order to discuss their topics with attendees.

- Undergraduate and Graduate Research Forum

Students are invited to discuss their research projects with conference attendees. Three students with similar topics will be scheduled for one concurrent session; each presenter will talk. Proposals may be from individual students or from a group interested in working together.

- Demonstrations

Demonstrations involve substantial audience participation, such as the actual doing of a task or series of tasks. For example, the presenter(s) could simulate the steps in the actual performance of language learning by having the audience participate in a lesson. Presentation time for demonstrations will be 20 minutes plus 10 minutes for Q&A and discussion.
