GURT09 
Implicit/Explicit Conditions, Processes, and Knowledge 
in SLA & Bilingualism 

March 13-15, 2009 
Georgetown University 
Washington, DC 

Co-organizers: Ronald P. Leow and Cristina Sanz 


Over the last several decades, neuroscientists, cognitive psychologists, and psycholinguists have investigated the implicit/explicit dichotomy in language development and use from theoretical as well as methodological perspectives. GURT 2009provides a forum to address these perspectives in an effort to build connections among them and to draw pedagogical implications when possible. 

We invite proposals for presentations from research fields related to any aspect pertinent to the conference topic. 
Possible topics include but are not limited to: 
* Individual variables: age, aging, aptitude, motivation 
* Awareness 
* Lexicon vs. grammar 
* Pedagogical conditions 
* Research methodologies, both quantitative and qualitative, computer-assisted, neuroimaging 
* Context of acquisition: classroom, naturalistic, immersion, study abroad
