Meeting Description:

The 7th International Conference of English as a Lingua Franca (ELF7) to be held at 
DEREE - The American College of Greece, Athens, on September 4-6, 2014 follows the 
highly successful first six conferences in the series that were held in Helsinki (2008), 
Southampton (2009), Vienna (2010), Hong Kong (2011), Istanbul (2012), and Rome 
(2013).

ELF has now established itself as a major and expanding field of academic research. Its 
interconnections with pedagogy and a host of other disciplines are being currently 
discussed, acknowledged, and investigated. Targeting English language educators who 
work with English language users from diverse educational and cultural backgrounds in a 
wide variety of settings, ELF can uniquely be interconnected with issues affecting and 
related to identity, language policy-making, intercultural awareness, technology, and 
language use at all levels facilitating human communications globally.

ELF7 seeks to explore these interfaces of ELF with pedagogy and other disciplines in the 
interest of the advancement of the field.

Keynote Speakers:

Henry Widdowson: University of Vienna, Austria
Elana Shohamy: Tel-Aviv University, Israel
Maria Grazia Guido: University of Salento, Italy
Nicos Sifakis: Hellenic Open University, Greece

2nd Call for Papers:

Deadline for abstract submission has been extended to March 31.

The Organising Committee cordially invites you to submit your abstracts to

Athens. The ELF7 committee members invite participants to contribute to 
this conference by submitting their work, reporting on current ELF research 
and/or participating in constructive ELF discussions on a variety of issues 
that would undoubtedly lead to maintaining ELF interest, increasing ELF 
insight, and furthering ELF research.

area.

Proposals are invited for the following types of presentations:

discussion), which may be supported with visual material and handouts. The 
presenter describes work in relation to theory, empirical research or practice.

- PhD (papers): Please indicate by writing PhD Paper whether your paper 
presentation refers to a PhD thesis you are currently writing/completing and 
indicate whether you wish this presentation to be considered for the Doctoral 
Workshop. From the accepted papers, 5-6 will be selected for the Doctoral 
Workshop.

- Poster Presentation (PstP): A one-on-one discussion of the conference-
related theme. Presenters can post their ideas/thoughts/materials/ongoing 
research on a notice board visually (e.g. using photos, charts, graphs, tables)

during the Conference.
