is for a paper or poster. Papers will be allocated 20-minute slots for
presentation plus 10 minutes for discussion.

Rationale: 
This conference aims to address the relationship between different perspectives
on language learning and teaching with a particular focus on how these have an
impact upon practice in the UK at a time when languages have arguably a higher
profile than ever before. We have for the first time a National Languages
Strategy and this has implications at all levels of language learning and
teaching. Key issues include the introduction of languages in primary schools,
cross-curricular approaches in primary and secondary schools, the use of ICT,
the development of the plurilingual agenda, the opportunities for international
links and innovation in assessment at all levels. The future agenda for language
learning and teaching in the UK requires critical engagement with research if we
are to move forward in the right direction. Papers might focus on whether and
how a range of cognitive and/or socio-cultural perspectives on language learning
inform these debates Papers relating to other perspectives which may shed light
on them are also 
welcome.
