2nd Call for Papers: 

Constructionist Approaches to Language Pedagogy

Extended call for papers:

We invite theoretical, methodological, empirical, and pedagogical
contributions dealing with:

Usage-based/constructionist approaches to (second) language learning and
teaching, with a special focus on:

- 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

The creation of online learning and assessment tools using constructional and
phraseological principles:

- Use/development of tools to detect learner-specific errors in grammar use
and understanding
- Methods to align learner-specific errors with constructional requirements
for licensed uses
- Development of learning material for specific grammatical constructions
development of learning material for particular learner groups
- (Considering, for example, systematic interferences between mother tongue
and target language)

Organizer:

Hans C. Boas, The University of Texas at Austin
