American Association for Applied Linguistics

 

March 6-9, 2010

 

Submission deadline: August 15, 2009

 

The 2010 conference of the American Association for Applied Linguistics (AAAL) will be held March 6 - 9 at the Sheraton Atlanta Hotel, Atlanta, GA. The 2010 AAAL conference will serve as a meeting place for applied linguists to generate ideas, cross disciplinary boundaries, and disseminate research about issues and concerns in language policy, second language acquisition, language pedagogy and assessment, discourse analysis and other areas of applied linguistics.

 

Nationally and internationally, the AAAL conference has a reputation as a comprehensive and stimulating conference that offers in-depth colloquia and paper sessions, topical and thoughtprovoking plenary presentations, excellent book exhibits, and plentiful opportunities for networking with applied linguists from North America and other countries. We hope you will consider sharing your work at AAAL in Atlanta, Georgia.

 

The submission of abstracts and the refereeing process will be carried out through the AAAL web submission system. Abstracts for all presentation formats should be submitted for blind peer review at: http://www.aaal.org/aaal2010.

Analysis of discourse and interaction

PROPOSALS

Proposals are invited for individual papers, posters, and colloquia.

 

INDIVIDUAL PAPERS: Papers are presented by one or more authors within a twenty minute period, with an additional ten minutes for discussion.

 

POSTERS: Posters are for one-on-one discussion of research. Posters are especially effective for presenting results of empirical research if data can be presented visually (e.g., charts, graphs, tables). A block of time will be designated when presenters are available to discuss their posters. Prospective presenters are encouraged to consider posters because of the opportunity they provide for inclusion of more presenters and topics in the program and for extended discussion with other researchers.

 

COLLOQUIA: Colloquia are presented in three-hour blocks. Colloquium organizers may

divide their time as they choose, but time should be allocated for opening and closing remarks, presentations, discussants (if included), and extended audience response. Colloquium organizers serve as the liaison between participants in the colloquium and the program committee, and are therefore responsible for communication among these participants.

 

EVALUATION OF PROPOSALS

Proposals for individual papers and posters are evaluated by a team of reviewers according to each of the following categories:

*Appropriateness and significance of the topic

*Expectation of original research

*Clearly stated questions, data sources, data collection procedures, and analytic approaches

*Manner of presentation (indicative of a clear and well-organized presentation)

 

Proposals for colloquia are evaluated by a team of reviewers according to each of the following categories:

*Appropriateness and significance of the topic

*Presentation of original and on-going research studies OR differing or dissenting perspectives on an important issue

*Coherence and complementarity of the papers

*Manner of presentation (indicative of careful planning for the implementation of the colloquium including a significant amount of time for discussion of the presentations and audience participation)
