Meeting Description:

Since the first meeting in 1994, the TaLC conferences have served as a forum for teachers, researchers and software developers to share their ideas on how corpus resources and tools for analysis can assist in language teaching. They aim to promote classroom applications of language corpora, data-driven learning, as well as the creation of corpus-informed teaching materials, and foster discussion between practitioners and theorists from all over the world.

The programme will consist of full papers, pre-conference workshops, poster sessions, software demonstrations and invited plenary talks. The programme starts with pre-conference workshops on Wednesday 20 July; the main conference will start on Thursday morning and finish on Saturday after lunch. 

The following speakers have agreed to give plenaries at the conference: 

- Marcus Callies (University of Bremen)
- Gaëtanelle Gilquin (Université catholique de Louvain)
- Barbara Lewandowska-Tomaszczyk (University of Lodz)
- Anke Lüdeling (Humboldt University Berlin)
- Tony McEnery (Lancaster University)


Call for Papers: 

Abstract Submission

Paper presentations will consist of a 20-minute talk followed by 10 minutes for questions and discussion. Papers reporting on empirical research should represent either completed work, or work in progress where some results can be reported. Presentations that take the form of a software demonstration are also welcome.
 
Topics that are within the scope of TaLC include, but are not limited to, corpus-based approaches to language learning, teaching and assessment in the following areas:

- teaching first and second languages (including data-driven learning  materials and student-centred linguistic investigation)
- teaching languages for specific purposes
- teaching interpreting, translation and intercultural communication
- teaching literature, culture and history
- developing pedagogic grammars and learner dictionaries
- developing corpora/tools/resources
- teacher education
- research on second language acquisition and learner corpus research
- teaching of corpus methods to students and researchers in linguistics

We request abstracts of 500 words (excl. references) for paper presentations. Submissions for poster presentations may be shorter (300-500 words excl. references). We suggest submitting an abstract for a poster rather than a paper presentation for (a) reports on research in its very early phases with no intermediate or final results to report or (b) reports on new corpus data resources.

Abstracts should be submitted through our online submission system: http://linguistlist.org/easyabs/TaLC2016

The deadline for abstract submission is 15 January 2016. 

Notifications of acceptance will be sent out by 15 February 2016, along with the second circular. Registration opens on 15 February 2016 and closes on 15 June 2016. The conference fee will be approximately 100 Euros with student as well as early-bird discounts.

There will also be pre-conference workshops on 20 July. If you are interested in organising one of the workshops, please contact the organisers with a brief proposal and proposed timeline (morning, afternoon or all-day workshop). Once the conference website indicates that the maximum number of workshops has been reached, no further proposals can be accommodated.

You will find further details about the conference on our homepage: https://www.uni-giessen.de/talc. 

If you have any questions about the conference in general, please contact us at talc2016 at uni-giessen.de.
