Meeting Description:

‘Accents’ is an annual conference organized by the Department of English
Language and Applied Linguistics at the University of Łódź, Poland. It brings
together researchers and teachers interested in native and non-native accents
of English, approached from a variety of theoretical and/or practical
perspectives. The key issues discussed each year include individual accent
characteristics, the dynamism of accent usage, accent teaching and learning,
and the methods and tools for accent studies. ACCENTS 2018 put practice into
the foreground. Together with Accents, we go to school to explore
pronunciation teaching and learning as elements of instructed language
learning across language classrooms. 

Plenary speakers:

Ron Thomson, Brock University
Giedrė Balčytytė-Kurtinienė, Vilnius University
Mirosław Pawlak, UAM, Poznań and State University of Applied Sciences in Konin


Call for Papers:

We invite proposals for papers, workshops and posters related to the main
theme ‘accents go to school’ as well as other issues related to native and
non-native accents of English, including, but not limited to the ones
mentioned below:  

- Pronunciation teaching and learning 
- Pronunciation and Individual learner differences 
- Situated pronunciation instruction: monolingual vs. multilingual classes 
- Intelligibility in the EFL/EIL classroom
- L1 in pronunciation instructed learning      
- Correctness in instructed pronunciation learning
- Pronunciation in speaking, listening, reading and writing.
- Phonics and second language learners.

of them is co-authored.  Papers are given 20 minutes followed by 10 minutes
for discussion, workshops will typically have 45/90 minute slots. Please
