Dear Postgraduates,

The aim of the Conference is to bring together postgraduates from within the

Call Deadline: 27-Jan-2005 

Meeting Description:

This seminar will review recent theoretical and methodological developments in
research into language learning and teaching, in face to face and virtual
settings.  The seminar aims to bring together researchers from diverse
educational sectors and explore shared agendas and potential collaborative
research programmes.  Discussion will be led by three invited speakers: Alison
Mackey (Georgetown University, USA, 'Interaction and second language learning');
Martin Bygate (University of Lancaster, UK, 'Research on tasks for language
pedagogy: the need for a pedagogical agenda'); Ros Mitchell (University of
Southampton, UK, 'Relationships between current SLA theory and language
pedagogy').  We will also explore research implications of current policy and
curriculum initiatives in language education at UK and European level (e.g. the
UK National Languages Strategies, the Common European Framework for Languages). 

An important aim of the seminar is to identify key strands of interest within
the community in order to develop a proposal and constitution for a BAAL Special
Interest Group in Language Teaching and Learning.  

Discussion will be led by 3 invited speakers: 

Alison Mackey, Georgetown University, USA: ''Interaction and second language
learning''

Martin Bygate, University of Lancaster: ''Research on tasks for language
pedagogy: the need for a pedagogical agenda''

Ros Mitchell, University of Southampton: ''Relationships between current SLA
theory and language pedagogy''

The keynote papers will be pre-circulated, and will form the basis for extended
discussion. 

There will be a small number of other papers, proposed by participants, plus a
number of round table discussions.  

The seminar will run from 1pm on Monday 11th April until 5pm on Tuesday 12th
April.  

The total cost of the seminar (£105) includes: 
-attendance at the seminar and refreshments
-dinner and accommodation on the York University campus on 11th April 
-breakfast and lunch on 12th April.

Attendance only (both days): £55 (including refreshments but excluding lunch,

A maximum of 25 places are available.  If you would like to attend, please fill

is 11th March.  

If you wish to present a paper, please fill in the 'submission to present form',
providing a 150 word abstract.  Papers will each be 30 minutes, followed by 15
minutes for discussion.  

Deadline for submission of both paper proposals and applications for
postgraduate scholarships is 27th January.

Two postgraduate full time student scholarships are available, which will cover
all costs (including food and accommodation but excluding travel). Applicants
