Second Call for Papers - AILA 2008 - Final Deadline extension


AILA 2008 is extending the deadline for its call for papers, symposia and 
poster presentations to April 15, 2007. This extension is in response to 
multiple requests from colleagues for more time to submit abstracts.


The conference theme of AILA 2008 is "Multilingualism: challenges and 
opportunities" and detailed information relating to the CALL FOR PAPERS is 
available on the conference website at www.aila2008.org both in English and in 
German. AILA 2008 invites proposals for presentations that are related to 
policy, research, and theory in any area of applied linguistics. A detailed 
list of the proposed thematic strands is published on the conference website.


However, as we intend to complete the screening procedures by the end of July 
2007, despite the extended deadline we would still like to invite colleagues to 
submit their proposals as early as possible. We are planning to inform 
successful proposals before the summer break, so that those colleagues planning 
to apply for financial assistance to their local agencies have enough time to 
prepare their applications. As stated on the AILA 2008 website - exact details 
as to conference fees and other costs will be posted after the next planning 
meeting of the AILA 2008 organising committee in mid-March.

proposals please visit our website at http://www.aila2008.org/call-for-
