9th International Conference on Language Awareness

26-29 June 2008

The University of Hong Kong

We welcome proposals for paper presentations, colloquia and posters discussing
research in relation to any areas that fit within the theme of the Conference:
'Engaging with language'. We also welcome proposals for workshops, sharing good
practices in relation to any areas that fit within the conference theme.


Paper presentations (30 minutes)
A paper will involve a 20-minute presentation on a topic related to engagement
with language in one or more of the main areas. Each paper will be followed by
10 minutes of questions and discussion.
	

Colloquia
(100 minutes)
A colloquium offers an opportunity for a group of three or four people to
propose a topic related to engagement with language and to explore it from a
range of perspectives in a series of linked presentations. The presentation part
of the colloquium should not exceed 60 minutes, so that there are 30-40 minutes
for extended discussion between presenters and the audience. Colloquium
proposers are responsible for ensuring the coherence of the colloquium. The
order of colloquium presentations should not be changed after acceptance.
	
	
Workshops
(45 minutes)
A workshop should be a sharing of good practice(s) related to the conference theme.
	

Poster presentations
A poster provides the possibility of presenting a succinct summary of research
and/or professional practice related to engagement with language.
