Meeting Description:

The International Society for Language Studies is pleased to announce that 
it will hold the biennial conference June 23-25, 2011 at the Renaissance 
Aruba Resort & Casino in Oranjestad, Aruba.  We join Aruba, an island and 
autonomous state within the Kingdom of the Netherlands lying just 27 
kilometers north of Venezuela, as they celebrate 25 years of independence, 
or status aparte. Language in Aruba includes the official languages of Dutch 
and the creole Papiamento. All Aruban students are also expected to learn 
English. The diverse culture and rich history of the island, like many islands 
in the Caribbean, form an appropriate backdrop for the ISLS 2011 
conference. 

Call For Papers

The International Society for Language Studies will hold its 2011 
Conference June 23-25, 2011 at the Renaissance Aruba Resort & Casino in 
Aruba. The theme of the conference will be "Critical Language Studies: 
Focusing on Identity." Paper and poster session proposal submission will 
open on April 1, 2010, and conclude on September 1, 2010. Submissions 
will not be accepted after the September 1 deadline. Notification of proposal 
acceptance and rejection will be sent in October, 2010. All presenters who 
have not registered for the conference by November 1st, 2010, will be 
removed from the program. Selected conference papers will be published 
by ISLS in the Readings in Language Studies Series in 2012.

About the Theme:
Language is more than the words that are communicated from one to 
another. Language represents our identity in terms of our relationships with 
others, how we are connected to others, power between individuals or 
groups, and so forth. The focus of this conference provides the opportunity 
for scholars to explore the many possible connections between language 
and identity. In order to provide a guide and structure to the theme, the 
following represent possible key words (called strands) to describe your 
proposed session.

Strands:
Discourse and Identity
Language & Identity in the Professions & Workplace
Language Teaching Practices & Pedagogy
Policy
Language & Culture
Other

Explanation of Strands:
Discourse and Identity
-This key word should be used to describe original research on issues of 
discourse and identity in language and literacy research. Individual 
proposals may focus on: the relationship between language practices and 
identity, identity construction within particular linguistic spaces, bridging 
identity theory and SLA theory, the influence of contexts on language 
learners' identities, and related areas of inquiry.

Language & Identity in the Professions and Workplace
-This key word should be used to describe proposals that investigate the 
intersection of identity & language, as they are related to research, 
teaching, and professional and workplace practice. Papers may focus on 
areas such as language use in these contexts, as it relates to identity; 
language analysis as it relates to identity (theoretical and applied 
phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and discourse analysis); or 
language processing at it relates to identity (computational linguistics, 
neurolinguistics, psycholinguistics).

Language Teaching Practices and Pedagogy
-This key word should be used to describe proposals that address theory, 
research, or practice of any aspect of language teaching and learning within 
the context of identity. Papers may include topics such as assessment, 
curriculum, instruction, teacher preparation and inservice, teacher 
development, and other maters related to culturally and linguistically diverse 
learners.

Policy
-This key word should be used to describe proposals that address issues 
related to language policy within the context of identity. Interdisciplinary 
studies are encouraged and research utilizing a variety of methodologies is 
sought. Papers may focus on language policy formation, language planning, 
language rights, language education policy and other related areas of study 
in complex, multilingual societies. Empirical studies contributing to theories 
of language policy and the identification of emergent issues related to 
identity are welcome.

Language and Culture
-This key word should be used to describe proposals that address issues 
related to conceptualizations of language in the public imaginary. Papers 
may include topics such as language variety and discrimination, the 
commodification of culture, and similar sociolinguistic concerns, as they 
relate to identity.

Other
-Not sure which key word best fits for your proposal? Choose this key word 
and the Conference Chairs will work to place your proposal with relevant 
papers in a session.
