Meeting Description:

We are pleased to announce that the Graduate Student Conference in Learner
Corpus Research 2021 will be hosted by the Faculty of Education at Inland
Norway University of Applied Sciences, 11-12 October 2021. It will be a
virtual conference, under the aegis of the Learner Corpus Association (LCA). 

The Learner Corpus Association is an international association which aims to
promote the field of learner corpus research and provide an interdisciplinary
forum for all the researchers and professionals who are actively involved in
the field or simply want to know more about it. 

This event offers a great opportunity for MA and PhD students to present their
(in-progress) results, share ideas, receive feedback from senior researchers
in the field, and further develop their professional networks. We also welcome
submissions from former students who have earned their MA within the 18 months
prior to the conference, regardless of their current formal student status. 

Researchers who already hold a doctoral degree are welcome and strongly
encouraged to attend as non-presenting delegates, helping to ensure the high
quality of the event and to foster the careers of students within the field of
LCR. 

The language of the conference is English, the conference platform will be
Zoom, and there will be no conference fee. 

We are very pleased to announce our two keynote speakers: 
 - Sylviane Granger (Professor Emerita, University of Louvain, Belgium) 
 - Luciana Forti (Researcher and Lecturer, University for Foreigners of
Perguia, Italy) 

Please visit our conference website (see below) for details about our
speakers. 


Call for Papers: 

We welcome submissions that address all aspects of learner corpus research
from any perspective, including but not restricted to the following areas:
first and second language acquisition, first and second language acquisition
theory, methodological innovations or applications, corpus analysis tools,
applications in fields including foreign language teaching, language testing
and natural language processing (automated scoring, spell- and
grammar-checking, L1 identification). 

Abstracts should provide the following: 
 - title; 
 - clearly articulated research question(s) and its/their relevance to LCR; 
 - the most essential details about research approach, data and methods; 
 - if possible, (preliminary) results and their interpretation. 

You may apply for one of the following:  
* Digital poster presentation: 1 poster plus 3-minute video 
* Paper: 20 minutes plus 5-10 minutes discussion 

You are welcome to submit more than one contribution, but please note that you
can be first author for only one contribution. 

Digital posters are to be created in PowerPoint and submitted with a short
video (max. 3 minutes) in advance of the conference. They will be made
available throughout the conference for asynchronous comments and questions. 

A paper is a 20-minute talk, given live. Presenters will be able to share a
PowerPoint (or similar) presentation from their own computer. A Q&A session of
5-10 minutes will follow each talk.  

Instructions for poster and paper presenters, along with deadlines, will be
sent out upon acceptance. We will also set up an accessible ‘Help Center’ to
provide experience with the digital platform, including the technical aspects
of ‘sharing’ a presentation online. 

Abstracts should be submitted through EasyChair. If you have not already done
so, you will be prompted to set up an EasyChair account. 

Abstract submission deadline: 3 May 2021  

Word limit for abstracts: 300 words excluding references. Please also submit
your anonymized abstract (with references added) as a pdf file.

Abstracts will be reviewed anonymously by our scientific committee.
Notification of acceptance will be sent out in July 2021.
