The International Society for Language Studies (ISLS) promotes research on
critical discourse and language matters, broadly conceived, including the
teaching and learning of  second / foreign languages  and general education
(mother tongue). Papers may be submitted for the following session strands:

-       Discourse and Identity
-         Education
-       Interdisciplinary Foci
-       Language Professions
-       Pedagogy
-       Policy
-       Research Methodology
-       Technology

Presentation proposals are accepted via the ISLS website. Various
presentation formats are possible: individual paper, paper session,
seminar. We particularly encourage multiple paper proposals as a  venue for
scholars engaged in research and dialogue on special interest topics.

As an international organization with members from every continent, ISLS
encourages a multilingual event. Although the principal language of the
conference will be English, presenters may submit proposals and present
papers in the language of their choice. In an effort to appeal to the
broadest of audiences, presenters are strongly urged to prepare support
materials in English (hand-outs, overhead transparencies, slides). Sessions
will be organized by topic, not language, unless a group of authors propose
an entire session.

Deadline for proposals: 1  October  2004.

Conference Chair: John Watzke, University of Notre Dame

The ISLS Conference directly follows the 2005 American Educational Research
Association (AERA)  conference.
