Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics; Language Acquisition 

Call Deadline: 15-Oct-2017 

Meeting Description:

This conference will focus on exploring the language learning potential of
collaborative dialogue in the learning of a second/foreign language. Research
on second language acquisition has shown that collaboration among learners is
a crucial source of learning as learners interact to create meaning and
co-construct knowledge (Storch, 2016; Swain, 2006). Further research is
needed, though, on the impact of speaking during task completion and more
target-like language use in writing with a specific group of learners: young
learners (8-16). This research would go in line with recent calls within
Task-based language teaching (TBLT) a more integrative agenda that considers
oral and written modes (Gilabert et al., 2016).


Call for Papers:

We invite abstract submissions for 30-minute oral presentations (20 minutes
for the presentation and 10 minutes for discussion) or posters (the maximum
size for posters will be A0) of original, unpublished work. We welcome studies
carried out within interactionist and/or sociocultural approaches and focused
on:
​
The impact of task modality (oral vs. oral+written) on the production, nature
and resolution of Language-related episodes (LREs) and on pair dynamics. Is
there a task-modality effect (oral vs. oral + written) on the frequency,
nature and resolution of LREs? Do the members of the dyad interact in a
different way depending on task modality?

Attention to form. During oral interaction while completing communicative
tasks, do the learners consciously focus on grammatical forms? That is, do
they produce LREs focused on target grammatical forms? What type of
metalinguistic reflections can be found while learners perform the task?

Task repetition and its impact on the frequency, nature and resolution of LREs
and on the complexity and accuracy of the written output?

Feedback. Which aspects of the language do young learners notice when they
write a text collaboratively? And when they are provided with feedback
(reformulated versions vs. models)? Which type of problem-solving strategies
do young learners use when they write collaboratively?

Motivation. How does learner motivation change before, during and after task
completion?
