Meeting Description:

The world is rapidly becoming a mixed global village where the role of languages is extremely important. Globalization has made the world interconnected. The political, technological, economic and social realities of the modern world have led and still lead to more contact between people of different linguistic and cultural backgrounds. New approaches, new theoretical concepts and new methods of teaching foreign / second languages have become the key issues in the modern world. Therefore, the main theme of LIF2015 is Contemporary Perspectives on Theory, Research, and Praxis in ELT and SLA.

The aim of the conference is to provide a forum for researchers and teachers who are interested in the exploration and exchange of theory, research findings, experience (praxis) and perspectives in language teaching, language learning and language skills development.

Call for Papers:

Centered around topics in applied linguistics, the conference will focus mainly on:

- ELT Methodology and classroom applications
- Foreign language teacher education
- Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) + Content and Language Integrated Learning in German (CLILiG)
- SLA / ELT focused theories and research (productive and receptive skills, linguistic and communicative competences, code-switching, classroom interaction analysis, assessment and evaluation, curriculum development)
- ICT in Language Teaching
- Psychological and psycholinguistic perspectives in SLA / ELT (attitudinal patterns, motivation, individual learner differences, learning strategies, learner autonomy) 
- Corpus linguistics and learner corpora
- Syntax and interfaces with morphology and semantics
- Lexical processing
- Phonological processing
- Cross-linguistic influences
- Discourse analysis
- Sociolinguistic theories and research (quantitative and qualitative approaches to the study of language, ethnographic and anthropological approaches to the study of language; language contact) 
- Socio-cultural considerations (intercultural competence development, multiculturalism in theory and practice, ethnic/language minority classrooms) 
- Multilingualism / bilingualism
- Educational language policies 
- Translation and interpreting

However, the submission of other topics for consideration is welcome and we also encourage sessions within and across a variety of disciplines and fields related to Applied Linguistics and Teaching Foreign Languages.
