Meeting Description:

The 11th annual Pronunciation in Second Language Learning and Teaching (PSLLT)
Conference will be held September 12-14, 2019 at Northern Arizona University
in Flagstaff, AZ.  PSLLT is an annual meeting that brings together language
teachers and researchers who share an interest in second language
pronunciation.

As we work to advance the field of L2 pronunciation teaching and learning, we
look to interdisciplinary fields that have guided advancements in the teaching
of other aspects of language learning. We can see that interdisciplinary
fields such as corpus linguistics, pragmatics, instructed SLA, interpersonal
communication, and assessment have served to inform and shape major changes in
the areas of vocabulary and grammar instruction. However, these
interdisciplinary fields have engaged less with pronunciation teaching and
learning and thus deserve much more attention. At the same time, since less
research in these fields focused on pronunciation teaching and learning,
specialists within L2 pronunciation may be less familiar with advancements in
these areas. Thus, we see the interdisciplinary engagement as needing to
happen both ways: first, within the field of L2 pronunciation teaching and
learning, applied linguists working in this area need to be familiarized with
the new literature in these areas. Second, the experts within these
interdisciplinary fields need to be aware of distinctive issues within
pronunciation teaching and learning and be encouraged to produce new research
in this area. To these ends, we hope that by bringing together core
researchers in various disciplines at PSLLT 2019, we can embrace the spirit of
interdisciplinarity by informing expert and novice researchers and teachers
across fields to be inclusive of each other’s work through recognition,
practice, or research.


Call for Papers:

We invite proposals for oral and poster presentations on all topics related to
any aspect of second language pronunciation research, teaching, and learning.
We also welcome papers which prioritize interdisciplinarity within Applied
Linguistics.  Papers may work within the following topics:

- effect of L1 on L2 pronunciation
- intelligibility in global contexts
- measurements of speech properties for L2 learners
- perception of accentedness, intelligibility and comprehensibility
- pronunciation and second language learning
- pronunciation and second language teaching
- pronunciation and communication in the workplace
- pronunciation and other areas of Applied Linguistics (e.g., assessment,
corpus linguistics, pragmatics, psycholinguistics)

The PSLLT Conference has three main types of presentations: Oral Presentations
(20 minutes + 5 minutes of questions); Posters (a dedicated 90-minute poster
presentation session); and Teaching Tips (10 minute, evidence-based
pedagogical approaches to teaching pronunciation in a dedicated time-slot).
For all types of presentations, abstracts should be no more than 300 words.

The proposal submission process will open in early January of 2019 and will
close in early April of 2019.  Please check back for more information on the
status and deadlines for the call for proposals.
