Call Deadline: 05-Nov-2018 

Meeting Description:

The aim of TDL is to advance our understanding of what it means to take a
usage-based approach to L2 learning and L2 research. We invite researchers to
explore a wide variety of topics related to language usage, language learning,
and cognition. These include questions such as what it means to interact in L2
in different social contexts, how speakers accomplish social actions in
moment-to-moment sense-making activities, and what is the nature of language
use environments as well as sediments of usage events left as “acquired
linguistic constructions” in the individual language learner. This variety of
questions involves strong, empirical and theoretical considerations of
language, learning, and cognition: 

- What is language – constructions or interactional competence?
- What is learning – social action or long-term portability?
- What is cognition – an individual property or a socially distributed
phenomenon?, and
- What are the implications for L2 teaching?

The following keynote speakers will address the conference themes from their
respective viewpoints:

Ewa Dąbrowska - University of Birmingham, UK
Hannele Dufva - University of Jyväskylä, Finland
Søren Eskildsen - University of Southern Denmark, Denmark
Tim Greer - Kobe University, Japan


Call for Papers:

We invite regular contributions that draw on epistemologies, theories, and
methods from across the spectrum of usage-based language learning research,
including data-driven and theory driven empirical investigations of the
relation between cognition, context, interaction, and language learning. We
are particularly, but not exclusively, interested in research that tackles
(aspects of) the above-mentioned questions about the nature of language,
learning, and cognition.

We welcome abstracts for paper or poster presentations addressing these
aspects of L2 learning research. Research perspectives include, but are not
limited to:

- Construction-based language learning
- Conversation Analytic approaches to L2 learning and interactional competence
- Embodiment, gestures and language learning
- Dynamic Systems / Chaos-Complexity-based language learning
- Linguistic relativity, thinking-for-speaking and language learning
- Language socialization
- Socio-cognitive, socio-cultural, ecological language learning
- Pedagogical implications of the above-mentioned strands

Talks will be allocated 20 minutes, plus 10 minutes for questions. Posters
will be put up on the first day of the conference and remain up for the
duration of the conference. The language of the conference is English.
 
Abstracts of no more than 300 words (excluding references) should be submitted
via the electronic abstract submission system, which opens on 1 October 2018.
Please indicate whether you would like to present a poster or a paper.

All abstracts will be subject to double-blind peer review by the international
Scientific Committee. The deadline for abstract submission is 5 November 2018.
Notification of acceptance will be given by 10 December 2018.
