Meeting Description:

ICFSLA 2017 theme: The impact of learning environments on second language
acquisition and foreign language learning

The choice of the topic was determined by the significance of learning
environment(s) in relation to language acquisition/learning processes. We aim
to raise our awareness as teachers, mentors and learners of the complexity of
this issue. We would like to look at the conditions necessary to build
environments that would support both the learning and growth of language
users/learners in the context of instructed as well as uninstructed language
development.

An innovation for our conference session will be a session with academic
publishers, from whom inexperienced young scholars can get information, advice
and guidance on how to prepare texts for publication in an academic journal.

We are pleased to announce that the following scholars have agreed to present
plenary papers at our conference:

- Prof. Jasone Cenoz (University of the Basque Country, San
Sebastian/Donostia)
- Prof. Gessica De Angelis (Trinity College, Dublin)
- Prof. Durk Gorter (University of the Basque Country, San Sebastian/Donostia)
- Prof. Simone Pfenninger (University of Salzburg)
- Prof. Ewa Piechurska-Kuciel (Opole University)
- Prof. David Singleton (University of Pannonia, Vészprem/Trinity College,
Dublin)


Call for Papers: 

Proposals for presentations can embrace both cognitive and affective aspects
of building such a supportive environment, at school but also beyond, in the
community and within a family. We are also anticipating papers researching
barriers in the learning environment(s) that impede the process of language
development such as expectations, resources, assessment or culture, to name
just a few. It would also be interesting to open up a discussion on
educational policies responsible for creating schools which respond well to
their learners by offering both a friendly and propitious environment for
learner growth. 

As many of our regular Szczyrk conference participants research
multilingualism and work within multilingual educational settings, as usual we
welcome proposals related with multilingualism research in a separate
session(s).

We also welcome and accept selected proposals in other areas of SLA research
in addition to the main conference theme.

All those wishing to contribute papers, or just wanting to attend
presentations and workshops, are invited to participate in the conference.

This year, instead of our regular Ph.D. workshop, we would like to introduce a
new form of presentation for Ph.D. students. Interested prospective candidates
are asked to prepare a poster of their projects and share them with the other
conference participants and, more importantly, with academic supervisors in
order to receive a response and some constructive feedback. 

Paper abstracts should be sent before 31 January 2017 to our e-mail address:
szczyrkconference2017 at gmail.com. You will be notified about the acceptance by
15 February.

The registration form, including the paper abstract, should be sent as an
attachment to an e-mail. Additionally, to facilitate the procedure of building
the conference database, all participants are kindly asked to type their entry
details into an Excel document (baza2017.xls), filling in all the columns in
the second row below the blue headings, and send it back as a separate
attachment, changing its name to SurnameName.xls (in Excel 2003 format).

Both documents necessary for registration can be downloaded from our webpage
at www.icfsla.us.edu.pl.
