Meeting Description:

Aims to bring together researchers and educators with an interest in the theory 
and practice of language teaching (particularly task-based language teaching). 

Call for Papers

This conference invites papers that investigate task-based language 
teaching, learning, and assessment from classroom and research 
perspectives. It particularly welcomes papers that evaluate tasks and task-
based teaching in authentic pedagogical contexts from around the world. In 
particular, preference will be given to papers that explore relationships among 
different research perspectives and connections between research, theory, 
and practice. All papers and colloquia should be strongly centred in the study 
and use of language tasks or the various uses of tasks in language teaching.

We are inviting proposals for individual papers of 20 minutes (plus questions) 
and proposals for colloquia (2 hours maximum including discussion). We also 
invite proposals for posters.

Deadline for Receipt of Abstracts: 15 November, 2010
Confirmation of acceptance: 20 December,  2010

Abstract Submission
TBLT 2011 welcomes abstracts for individual papers, colloquia and posters. 
We also especially welcome abstracts from emerging researchers and 
language teachers using tasks. 

Please note: Each presenter may only participate in one presentation, be it 
an individual paper, poster, or paper within a colloquium.

The deadline for abstract submission is 15 November, 2010. Please send the 
abstract as an attachment either in Microsoft Word Document or in Rich Text 
Format (RTF), and include any special fonts (e.g., IPA) you may have used.

Evaluation of Proposals
Submissions will be evaluated on the basis of the following: 

Appropriateness and significance of the topic in relation to the conference 
theme Tasks: context, purpose, and use, 
Originality of the research, 
Clarity of stated research questions, description of research design, data 
collection methods, and analytical frameworks and procedures, as 
appropriate, 
(For colloquia) Careful time planning for each presentation and audience 
participation, and overall coherence of the individual presentations.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as 
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These 
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return 
(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact 
your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match 
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your 
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the 
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple 
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company 
operates such a program.
