Meeting Description:

After the successes of the First International Conference on Constructionist
Approaches to Language Pedagogy (CALP 1) at The University of Brussels in 2013
and of CALP 2 at the University of Basel in 2016, CALP 3 will take place at
the University of Texas at Austin, February 15-17, 2018. 



Call for Papers:

We invite theoretical, methodological, empirical, and pedagogical
contributions dealing with:

Usage-based/constructionist approaches to (second) language learning and
teaching, with a special focus on:
- learning processes, such as entrenchment, categorization, schematization,
and generalization
- item-specific vs. item-general constructional knowledge and the
lexicon-grammar continuum
- input/intake, input distributions, input processing, and input enhancement
- interaction, negotiation, elaboration, output, and feedback
- (selective) attention, noticing, and interfaces between implicit/incidental
and explicit/intentional (second) language learning and teaching, including
age effects
- individual differences in the domains of affect/motivation,
aptitude/cognition (e.g., working memory, pattern recognition ability), and
learned attention/conceptualization

Usage-based/constructionist approaches to (second) language assessment,
primarily with regards to:
- varying degrees of productivity and the distinction between item-specific
and item-general knowledge/patterns
- information packaging, degrees of explicitness, and pragmatic adequacy
- the elicitation of contextualized, meaningful language use
- the use and significance of structural priming and scaffolding in language
testing

The creation of online learning and assessment tools using constructional and
phraseological principles:
- use/development of tools to detect learner-specific errors in grammar use
and understanding 
- methods to align learner-specific errors with constructional requirements
for licensed uses
- development of learning material for specific grammatical constructions 
development of learning material for particular learner groups 
- (considering, for example, systematic interferences between mother tongue
and target language)

Keynote speakers:

Gaëtanelle Gilquin, Université catholique de Louvain
Stefan T. Gries, University of California, Santa Barbara
Ute Römer, Georgia State University

Organizer:

Hans C. Boas, The University of Texas at Austin
