Meeting Description:

This year's Meeting on English Language Teaching (MELT) is the first annual meeting hosted by the Ecole de langues at the University of Quebec at Montreal. Its purpose is to provide a forum to explore various research areas relevant to English language teaching.  

The 1st annual MELT will focus on language teaching for adults through other subjects. In particular, this meeting will address the ways in which L2 learning can be enhanced through content course material.

The theme of this year's MELT is the use of content and authentic material from such domains as linguistic theory, literature, film, and history in second language teaching for adults. While language learning through content courses is not a new practice, the exact role of the content material as opposed to language instruction itself in an ESL class is a topic of diverse research. In order to better understand the issues and implications of this pedagogy, scholars in the field of content-based language teaching, especially for adult learners, are invited to share their findings at MELT. 

2nd Call for Papers:

The deadline is now April 2, 2012, or until all the presentation slots are filled (only a few left!).

Please submit all abstracts (one blind copy) at melt at uqam.ca.

simple administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to

your company operates such a program.
