Proposal Information:

The Department of Applied Linguistics & ESL at Georgia State University is pleased to host the 34th Second Language Research Forum (SLRF) in Atlanta, Georgia, on October 29-31, 2015. 

We invite proposals for papers, posters, and thematic colloquia (consisting of 3-4 papers each) for SLRF 2015. While we are especially interested in proposals which align with our conference theme, “Application, Context, and Language Use,” we welcome proposals from researchers from a variety of disciplines who represent all areas of second language research.

Guidelines for Paper and Poster Submissions:

Proposals for paper and poster presentations should consist of a title, an abstract, and a short summary (references optional). Titles should be no longer than 15 words. Abstracts are limited to 350 words in length, not including the title, references or examples. Abstracts should be single-spaced and in Times New Roman 12 point font. Summaries are limited to 50 words. 

Individual papers will be allotted 30 minutes: 20 minutes for the presentation and 10 minutes for questions and discussion. Poster presenters should plan to present and discuss their work for at least one hour during their assigned poster session. Posters should measure no more than 3ft by 4ft (90cm x 120cm).

Paper and poster submissions will be evaluated through a blind-review process based on the following criteria:

- Relevance of research topic
- Theoretical orientation
- Research design
- Results and/or implications
- Overall impression

To assist in the anonymous evaluation of abstracts, please be sure to remove all identifying information from the body of the abstract and summary. 

Guidelines for Colloquia Submissions:

Proposals for colloquia should also be submitted online. Colloquia will be scheduled for 90-120 minutes and should consist of 1-2 organizers / discussants and 3-4 papers.

A 300-word overview of the proposed colloquium theme should be included, followed by a 75-word abstract for each paper in the colloquium, not including titles or references. These should be submitted as a single document with the names of the presenters removed in order to ensure a double-blind review. Names of both the organizer(s)/discussant(s) and paper presenters will be included in the submission process as co-authors. 

Number of Submissions per Person:

An author may submit a maximum of one proposal as first author. The same author may also be co-author/co-presenter on a maximum of two additional submissions (i.e., colloquia, papers, or posters).

Submission Instructions:

Proposals will be accepted online starting Monday, March 2, 2015. To make a submission, please visit the conference website at http://www2.gsu.edu/~wwwesl/index.html.
