Meeting Description:
The conference will be devoted to various aspects of developing speaking
skills in the foreign language classroom, with a particular focus on the steps
that can be taken to ensure that learners are able to use target language
forms (i.e., grammatical, lexical, phonological, pragmatic) not only in
various text-manipulation and text-creation activities but also automatize
them to such an extent that they can be employed in a variety of
communication-based tasks (Ellis, 1997). It will be organized by Faculty of
Philology, State University of Applied Sciences, Konin, Poland, and the
Department of English Studies, Faculty of Pedagogy and Fine Arts, Adam
Mickiewicz University, Kalisz, Poland. The languages of the conference will be
English and Polish, with all the plenary talks given in the former.

- Jenefer Philp (University of Lancaster)
- Elaine Tarone (University of Minnesota)
Call for Papers:

papers (20 minutes + 10 minutes for discussion), workshops (60 minutes) and
posters which could, among other things, focus on the following areas:
