Meeting Description:

Sociolinguistics, linguistics and the teaching of languages in multilingual
and
multidialectal contexts / Les apports de la sociolinguistique et de la
linguistique descriptive à l'enseignement des langues dans des contextes
plurilingues et pluridialectaux.

We are seeking submissions pertaining to approaches or practices in language
teaching in many different parts of the world and in a wide range of contexts,
such as the teaching of first vs. second languages, official language vs.
indigenous languages, majority vs. minority language, standard vs. regional
varieties, dialect maintenance, etc. We hope to put an emphasis on the
crossroads between three complementary fields: sociolinguistics, descriptive
linguistics, and language teaching. Abstracts of 300-400 words excluding title
and references may be submitted electronically in Word, WordPerfect, or RTF to
aplaalpa29umoncton.ca.

Proposals for papers treating other areas of linguistics are also welcome, and
graduate students are especially encouraged to submit.

Presentations may be given in English or French and are to be 20 minutes in
length followed by 10 minutes for discussion.
