Call for Papers:

The conference is an open forum for scholars interested in exploring
empirically topics and issues in Arabic applied linguistics. The topics of the
conference cover three mains strands:

I. Topics which deal with Arabic second language acquisition (SLA). Current
approaches for investigating the different aspects (phonology, vocabulary,
morphology, syntax, morphosyntax, semantics, pragmatics, etc.) of Arabic SLA
include but not limited to:
- Formal (generative, functional, typological)
- Cognitive (processability, attention, noticing and awareness)
- Input-based (input processing; input, interaction and output)
- Frequency and usage-based
- Corpus-based
- L1 transfer
- L2 transfer
- Sociocultural
- Sociocognitive
- Language socialization
- Neurolinguistic
- Discourse, Conversation analysis
- Code-switching
- Diglossia
- Ideology
- Identity
- Heritage

II. Topics which deal with the theory and practice of Arabic second/foreign
language teaching, second language learning, second language proficiency
testing and assessment as well as the interface and connections between them
include but not limited to:
- Application of classroom approaches or specific techniques to develop
language skills and components (speaking, listening, reading, writing,
culture, vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, accuracy, fluency, etc.)
- Assessment of individual differences and external variables (aptitude,
anxiety, attitude, distance, motivation, learner’s perception, etc.)
- L2 maintenance and attrition
- Learning strategies
- Local versus study-abroad environment
- Curriculum design and assessment
- Foreign language learning assessment
- Proficiency testing (speaking, listening, reading, and writing)
- Second language acquisition-second language pedagogy interface
- Second language acquisition-testing interface
- Teacher cognition
- Teacher education
- Technology-mediated learning and teaching

III. Topics which deal with applied research related to Arabic as an L1,
including:
- Arabic first language acquisition (investigating the different aspects
including phonology, morphology, syntax, morphosyntax, semantics, pragmatics,
etc.)
- Arabic L1 Literacy (including child and adult), reading, and writing
- Analysis of interaction and communication including discourse, conversation,
signs, and gestures
- Bilingualism and multilingualism
- code-switching
- Corpus linguistics
- Forensic linguistics
- Language and culture, and socialization
- Language and identity
