Theme of the Symposium

This event will focus on using web collaboration and pedagogic applications
of corpora in order to strengthen authentication in language learning and
teaching. Emphasis is thus on both content and communication-based learning
activities and on how computer mediated communication (CMC) and corpus
methodologies can be pedagogically integrated.

Our aim is to take stock of the current state of affairs in corpus and
CMC-based language learning and teaching. Special attention will be given to
the needs of 'young' researchers in the field. The language of the symposium
is English, but we welcome contributions for all languages.

Pathway lectures will be offered by Ana Frankenberg, Steven Thorn and Bernd
Rüschoff.

Call for Papers

We welcome proposals for 20-minute paper presentations (plus 20 minutes
discussion) or posters focusing on using corpora and CMC to support
authentication in content and communication-based language learning and
teaching.

Please submit a 300 word abstract (including a title) by 22 November 2010.
More information is available on the website.

Notifications of acceptance will be sent out during the week beginning 13
December 2010.

Organisation

This event is being organised in collaboration with EUROCALL, the European
Association for Computer-Assisted Language Learning, and the European LLP
projects "BACKBONE: Corpora for Content and Language Integrated Learning"
and "icEurope: Intercultural Communication between English Language Classes
in Europe".
