Meeting Description:

Current Approaches to Spanish and Portuguese Second Language Phonology was
originally organized by faculty and graduate students of the University of
Minnesota and Indiana University to provide a common forum for the community
of scholars conducting research on any aspect of the acquisition of the sound
systems of Spanish and Portuguese by second language learners. At this 10th
anniversary edition of the conference, we continue to include a wide range of
approaches to the study of second language phonology, as well as multiple
contexts, from acquisition of Spanish phonology by English speakers to the
acquisition of Portuguese phonology by Spanish speakers, from classroom-based
learning to full immersion in the second language, and to foster the
interdisciplinary collaboration essential to moving the field forward. By
focusing on the breadth of approaches that scholars are taking to the study of
second language phonological acquisition in Spanish and Portuguese, this
conference aims to represent the state-of-the-art in second language
phonological acquisition.

In addition to the individual refereed presentations of empirical research
that will make up the core of the conference program, there are three
additional events that make this conference unique. The first is a roundtable
discussion designed to bring together senior scholars and up-and-coming
researchers to reflect on the progress in the field since the inception of
this conference and to identify key areas for moving the field forward. The
second key conference event is an interactive poster session for newer
researchers in the field. Unlike larger conferences, this will be a more
interactive event, where lunch is provided and audience members are given the
opportunity to interact and provide feedback at multiple stations. Finally, we
will continue an event called Ignite, which allows for short presentations of
instructional techniques that connect effective pedagogical practices with
current state-of-the-art knowledge of the acquisition of second language
sounds. This session will be introduced by a leader in the field and her
comments will contextualize the other, shorter presentations.
