Meeting Description:

First International Workshop on Technological Innovation for Specialized
Linguistic Domains: Theoretical and Methodological Perspectives

Over the last decade, research on language teaching/learning has led to an
outstanding proliferation of technological applications. Many of these are 
oriented towards restricted professional and academic contexts of use as a 
reflection of real world demands for language tuition. The multiple 
divergences of such specialized linguistic domains with respect to general 
or standard languages require a dedicated perspective for the computer-
based teaching and processing of what are also referred to as LSPs 
(Languages for Special Purposes). 

Extended Call For Papers

This extended call for papers has been prepared to announce the following 
three pieces of information:
1.The deadline for abstract submission has been extended until May 9th to 
satisfy the numerous petitions that have been received about this possibility.
2.The online registration process is now available on the Web site.
3.The titles of the plenary and keynote speakers' talks are now available.
TISLID'10 promises to be an interesting opportunity to meet and mix with 
fellow researchers in an active and constantly changing field. Over the last 
decade, research on language teaching/learning has led to an outstanding 
proliferation  of technological applications. Many of these are oriented 
towards restricted professional and academic contexts of use as a reflection 
of real world demands for language tuition. The multiple divergences of 
such specialized linguistic domains with respect to general or standard 
languages require a dedicated perspective for the computerbased teaching 
and processing of what are also referred to as LSPs (Languages for Special 
Purposes).

TISLID'10 will be hosted by the ATLAS research group (http://atlas.uned.es) 
in UNED, Madrid, 21-22 October 2010. This event will include plenary talks, 
keynote speeches, workshops, short presentations, posters, and a round 
table debate. The following plenary and keynote speakers have confirmed 
their participation:

-Dr. Elisabet Arnó, President of AELFE (European Association of 
Languages
for Specific Purposes): "Approaches to information technology from an LSP
perspective: Challenges and opportunities in the new European context".
-Dr. Ana Gimeno, President of EUROCALL (European Association for
Computer Assisted Language Learning): "Fostering learner autonomy in
technology-enhanced ESP courses".
-Dr. Stephen Bax, Reader in English Language, Learning, Assessment and
Technology, University of Bedfordshire: "Technologies in language 
education,
LSP and research: towards normalization".
-Dr. Ricardo Mairal, Professor of English Language and Linguistics, UNED:
"Using ontologies for terminological knowledge representation":

The organisers welcome the submission of research papers dealing with
technology-supported LSP teaching/learning and processing. We 
particularlyencourage proposals on new theoretical and methodological 
foundations for the development of LSP-based systems. Scholars interested 
in submitting an article should send a 500-word abstract in electronic format 
by May 9th 2010 (see abstract guidelines: 
http://atlas.uned.es/TISLID10/Abstract_Guidelines_v2.doc).

Submissions are also welcome for one-hour workshops and for posters. All 
proposals will be subject to a double-peer blind review process. Acceptance 
will be confirmed by May 25th.
Topics relevant to this workshop include (but are not limited to):

-Critical analyses of different CALL approaches
-Specificity of the processing of specialized linguistic domains vs. general
languages: types of knowledge
-Contrastive studies of different specialized linguistic domains
-AI strategies and techniques in LSP-based processing
-Principles of technology-enhanced methodology for use with sublanguages
-The use of linguistic formalisms and approaches in sublanguage-based 
CALL
-The use and adaptation of the Common European Framework of 
Reference
for Languages and other didactic frameworks for LSP
-Software tools and resources for teaching/processing LSPs
All accepted abstracts will be published on CD by UNED. Furthermore, a 
subset of the best articles will be published as a separate research book. 
The authors in question will be required to submit an extended version of 
their paper (2500-3000 words) by July 1st 2010.
A Best Research Paper Award will be given for the most significant 
contribution to the workshop in terms of theoretical and/or methodological 
advancement in the area of technology-supported LSP teaching/processing. 
Members of the scientific and organising committee are excluded.

The Best Research Paper Award will consist of a Certificate and a set of 
LSP books and electronic materials from a specialized publisher and it will 
be announced at the end of the workshop.
