Call for Papers:

Of particular interest are questions such as the following:

(1) How are properties from different linguistic domains (lexicon, phonology,
morphosyntax, discourse, etc.) acquired in PL2 and how do they develop? 
(2) Which factors influence the acquisition and development of PL2 (the
learner' L1, age, knowledge of other foreign languages, social and cultural
factors, etc.)?
(3) How can a better understanding of the process of PL2 acquisition
contribute to the development of more effective teaching strategies and
materials?  
(4) How does explicit teaching influence the process of PL2 acquisition and
development? 
(5) How can the teaching of Portuguese be adapted to different target groups
according to age, learning context (e.g. official language, foreign language,
heritage language), etc.?
(6) What are the linguistic correlates of each proficiency level in
Portuguese?
(7) What are the most effective tools for proficiency assessment in PL2?

Submission Guidelines:

poster presentations. Oral presentations have a 20-minute duration, followed
