Call Deadline: 22-Jan-2018 

Meeting Description:

The Second Language Acquisition Program at the University of Iowa is calling
for papers for the 2018 SLA Graduate Student Symposium. The SLA graduate
students at the University of Iowa, the University of Wisconsin–Madison and
the University of Minnesota have formed a partnership to host an annual SLA
Graduate Student Symposium. Organizing and hosting the conference alternates
between the three universities. Graduate students in SLA and related
disciplines present their work and meet distinguished researchers in their
fields.  The theme of the 2018 symposium is Research Approaches to Second
Language Acquisition. Submissions may address the conference theme or any area
related to current and future trends in SLA research including, but not
limited to: generative, psycholinguistic, and social approaches; technology in
language teaching and learning; and implications of SLA research for
instruction.  We seek proposals, both theoretical and empirical, from graduate
student researchers that reflect the differing perspectives and methods
currently used in SLA research. The research may be interdisciplinary in
nature. Submissions based on pilot studies, pre-dissertation studies, or
work-in-progress projects will be considered in addition to completed
projects. 

Keynote Speakers  Charlene Polio (Michigan State University)


Call for Papers:

We invite proposals for papers and posters from graduate students at any level
of graduate study. All proposals must be original (i.e., not previously
presented in public) and unpublished work. Paper presentations will be 20
minutes followed by a 10-minute discussion period. Poster presentations will
be displayed at an hour-long session, during which poster authors will stand
by their posters to discuss their work.
