*60th Annual Conference of the International Linguistic Association*

*Teachers College, Columbia University, April 24-26, 2015*



*Call for Papers*

*Theme: Linguistics and Education - Honoring Franklin E. Horowitz*



On the occasion of the 60th Annual Conference of the International
Linguistic Association, we pay special tribute to Franklin Horowitz, who
has been an active and dedicated member of the ILA from its earliest years,
joined the Executive Board in 1989, and served as its president from 1999
to 2002. A professor of linguistics at Teachers College, Columbia
University for over 35 years, Frank’s enthusiasm for language inspired
legions of graduate students, who continue the work of teaching linguistics
to their own students around the world. His influence has been enormous,
both as a leader of the ILA and as a teacher. Thus, this year’s theme
reflects the mark he has left on those who have worked with and learned
from him:  We invite papers related to the various subfields of linguistics
as they are applied to education.



The influence of linguistics on education is wide-ranging. It encompasses
applications to language teaching, including the teaching of second and
foreign languages; the education of emergent bilinguals and speakers of
various dialects; educating for language awareness, linguistic diversity,
and equity; research on language and the Internet; language planning and
policy studies; the critique of political and media discourse; and the
revitalization of indigenous and endangered languages. The ILA invites
submissions that explore these and other connections between linguistics
and education.



Topics that might be addressed under this theme:

·      Methods for teaching linguistic structures

·      Second and foreign language instruction

·      Dialects, diversity, and language awareness

·      Bi/multilingualism and education

·      Indigenous education and language revitalization

·      Classroom discourse

·      Linguistics in teacher education

·      Literacy and writing systems

·      Digital literacies

·      Language planning and policy

·      Language, power, and ideology

In keeping with the ILA tradition, we also welcome proposals that treat
other areas of linguistics.



*Guidelines for Proposals *



The ILA program committee welcomes the submission of individual papers and
posters. A paper or poster abstract of up to 400 words is required.

before submitting.
