Meeting Description:

Recent years have seen an increasing interest in studies on L2 pronunciation.
This includes studies that focus on the relationship between L2 pronunciation
and sociolinguistic aspects such as the social and communicative acceptability
of L2 speakers (van den Doel 2006; Pilott 2016; Thomson 2018). Also, the
importance of teaching L2 pronunciation and teachers’ skills in this context
are increasingly emphasized (Derwing et al. 2014; Thomson & Derwing 2015).

While the majority of studies address widely used languages, most notably
English, NordAc³ approaches this topic with a regional focus on research from
the Nordic countries or on the Nordic languages. The two-day workshop brings
together scholars working on sociolinguistic, phonetic, and acquisitional
aspects of L2 pronunciation, with particular emphasis on the discussion of:

Current empirical findings:
- Which perspectives on L2 pronunciation, including the use of listener
ratings, are being discussed in current studies?
- Which fundamental implications for teaching purposes can be drawn from
recent L2 pronunciation studies?
    
Methodological aspects:
- How can different dimensions of pronunciation (especially acceptability) be
defined and measured?
- How can the mutual influence of different dimensions be measured, e.g. the
influence of accent on acceptability?
    
The relevance of research on L2 pronunciation for teaching:
- What do teachers need to know? What should we teach teachers?
- Which aspects of L2 pronunciation in general and which language-specific
phenomena in particular should be part of teacher education?


Call for Papers:

We welcome 20-minute contributions (20 minutes for presentations plus 10
minutes for discussion) in English, Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish. Please
send your abstracts (max. 400 words excluding references) to Lisa Tulaja
(l.tulaja at isfas.uni-kiel.de).

Submission Deadline: 30 November, 2018
