Meeting Description:

The first international conference ''Matters of the Mind: Psychology and
Language Learning'' was held in Graz, Austria, in May 2014. It was organized
on the initiative of Dr Sarah Mercer, and it was a highly successful event.

We have taken up the challenge, and will be organising the second
international conference with the title ''Individuals in Contexts: Psychology
of Language Learning 2'' to be held in Jyväskylä, Finland, August 22 - 24,
2016. The idea is to bring together scholars from all over the world
interested in the role of psychology in learning and teaching languages
(irrespective of their status).

The conference will address among other things such key issues in the field
as:

- Learners and teachers as individuals with all their characteristics,
including self-concept, motivation, identities, beliefs, agency, emotions,
strategies, styles, etc.
- The learning process and its outcomes
- The diversity of contexts

As part of the conference we are proud to announce three plenary speakers:

- Phil Benson, Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia
- Maggie Kubanyiova, University of Birmingham, UK
- Sarah Mercer, University of Graz, Austria

Academic programme:

proposals get accepted will have to register by May 15. The conference fee is
EUR 225–300 for regular participants and EUR 100 for students, and it includes
lunch and refreshments.  

The social programme will include a conference dinner in a restaurant with
panoramic views over the City of Jyväskylä, and a half-a-day excursion to
Mänttä, a great destination for lovers of fine arts and nature.
