Meeting Description:

The mission of TexLER is to provide its participants with a space to
collaborate, discuss, and share ideas in the field of linguistics and foreign
and second language teaching. What makes TexLER different from other
conferences is its unique design that prompts collaborative learning between
research and practice.

We are honored to have Dr. Kristen Lindahl (University of Texas) and Dr. Wayne
Wright (Purdue University) as our plenary speakers.   

Call for Papers:

The 18th Annual Texas Language Education Research (TexLER) Conference is now
accepting proposals for our annual conference on February 17-18, 2017 at the
University of Texas at San Antonio. 

Bridging the gap between research and practice is an inevitable challenge in
the field of foreign/second language teaching. TexLER unites scholars and
educators from diverse contexts who strive to connect research findings to
classroom practices, thus shaping the future direction of language education.
TexLER welcomes research studies and practice-oriented presentations that
clearly establish strong connections  between theory and practice in diverse
contexts. Our goal is to offer an interdisciplinary forum for all those
interested in research findings with implications for the classroom as well as
those interested in  pedagogical approaches to language learning grounded in
empirical findings.

The theme for the conference this year is “Educating Linguistically and
Culturally Diverse Students: Research and Practices.” 

Please choose from the following strands when you submit your abstract:

- Foreign/Second Language Acquisition
- Language and Technology
- Language Testing and Assessment
- Curriculum Design and Development
- Language Planning and Policy
- Teacher Education
- Bilingual, Multilingual, and Heritage Learner Communities
- Educational Linguistics
- Research Methodology
- Language Pedagogy and Practices
- Second Language (Bi)Literacy

 Interested participants are encouraged to submit a proposal for one of the
following session types:

- 60-minute Poster Presentation

Posters will be on display during the conference, and a separate conference
session will  be dedicated to presenters to explain their work and answer
questions. Posters can be used to gain valuable feedback on theses,
dissertations, or research. This is a good format for describing a work in
progress, or a new process or idea.

- 20-minute Research-Based or Practice-Oriented Presentation

Research-Based Presentation: A 20 minute formal talk addressing a small
audience followed by a 5 minute Q&A/discussion. It might be original empirical
research as well as an original theoretical investigation.

Practice-Oriented Presentation: A 20 minute practical or “hands-on”
presentation by the  presenter(s) followed by a 5 minute Q&A/discussion. It
can be a practical demonstration of a theory, or an application of pedagogical
methodology still in the developmental stage.

- 45-minute Practice-Oriented Presentation

Workshop: A 45 minute practical demonstration of a theory or an application of
a  pedagogical methodology, followed by a short Q&A/discussion. Presenter(s)
should engage the audience through experiential learning techniques.

Online registration, proposal submission forms and more detailed information
are available on our website: www.texler.org.
