Call Deadline: 16-Apr-2017 

Meeting Description:

Second Language (SL) research is becoming increasingly interdisciplinary. It
is studying SL issues from a variety of disciplinary and theoretical
perspectives that researchers have made contemporary SL research the
fascinating field it is today. 

SLRF 2017 will focus on interdisciplinary approaches to SL studies and on
building connections that enhance and enrich our knowledge of SL research.


Call for Paper and Poster Presentations:

Second Language Research has its roots in a variety of disciplines and
traditions, each containing a multiplicity of voices and theories, at times
complementary and at times clashing. Recently, scholars in the field have
enriched their work by drawing insights from sociolinguistic,
psycholinguistic, and neurocognitive approaches to SLA; research on pragmatics
and classroom interactions; and the study of Bilingualism, Bi-literacy, and
Multilingualism. These connections have begun to bridge the gaps amongst
methodologies, facilitating a better understanding of the problematics at play
in second language teaching, learning, and use.

Simultaneously, linguistics as a field has sought to connect to other
disciplines, to the media, and to laypeople. Since their field is often
misunderstood by those outside of it, linguistic researchers are working to
educate those beyond their boundaries and looking to other disciplines to
enrich their work and promote understanding of how languages are learned.

Finally, technological advancements offer enhanced approaches to language
practice for teachers and learners: Asynchronous and synchronous computer
mediated communication (CMC) allows for connections and collaborations between
learners and instructors on a global scale, and technologies such as
eye-tracking, event-related potential (ERP) and fmri allow researchers
valuable insight into learners’ language acquisition processes.

The theme of SLRF 2017, “Growing Connections in Second Language Research,”
focuses on these developing links. Consequently, we invite proposals for paper
and poster presentations that in some way discuss connections: amongst
methodologies, fields, and people.

We welcome but are not limited to submissions situated in the following areas
of research:

- Research Methods in SLR
- Cognitive and Neurocognitive Approaches to SLA
- Formal Approaches to SLA
- Sociolinguistic Approaches to SLA
- Psycholinguistic and Psychological Approaches to SLA
- Instructed SLA - Issues in SL Education
- Bi-literacy - Bilingualism - Multilingualism
- CALL/CMC / Technology
- Guidelines For Submissions

Submission Instructions:

All documents submitted should be in PDF format. They should be completely
anonymized, with all references to institutions and presenters removed. An
author may submit only one paper as first author, but may also be a colloquium
organizer, discussant, or co-author of a maximum of two additional
presentations or posters.

Poster and Paper Presentations:

Proposals for paper and poster presentations should consist of a title, an
abstract not exceeding 350 words, and a summary not exceeding 50 words,
submitted in a single PDF via a webform. The address of the webform will be
sent out in a later call for papers.

Colloquia:

Proposals for colloquia (i.e. organized panels or sessions) should be
submitted by email to the following address: asc-slrf2017 at osu.edu. The
proposal should consist of a colloquium title, a brief thematic overview not
to exceed 200 words, and brief abstracts for each of the papers not to exceed
150 words each, submitted as a single PDF document. Colloquia should consist
of 3-4 papers.
