Call Deadline: 28-Apr-2017 

Meeting Description:

Annual conference of the British Association for Applied Linguistics Language
Learning and Teaching Special Interest Group

Language learning and teaching takes place in diverse settings around the
world. The variety of contexts and acronyms such as MFL, EFL, EAL and ESOL can
sometimes serve to highlight the differences within this diversity rather than
the commonalities. Yet despite the apparent differences such as class size,
language(s) learned, age of learners and reasons for language learning, there
are many shared concerns. These relate, for example, to target language use,
motivation, assessment, role of L1, language learning processes and teacher
education.

Confirmed plenary speakers:

Professor Victoria Murphy, University of Oxford.
Dr Chris Jones, University of Liverpool.
Professor Suzanne Graham, University of Reading.


Call for Papers:

Paper proposals are invited in any area of foreign language teaching and
learning. The language of the conference is English, but papers are welcome to
 relate to the teaching and learning of any language.

This conference will encourage participants to consider how the realities of
these different contexts throw light upon the many shared concerns that
practitioners may have, and how we might all learn from one another.

- What does research into language learning processes tell us about the impact
of pedagogy in different contexts?
- How does the learning of additional languages affect first language
development?
- What are the shared concerns of teachers of learners of different ages?
- How do we assess language learning in different contexts?
- What are the challenges facing teacher education?

Papers and posters are invited from researchers or practitioners in any field
of language learning and teaching, to focus on an aspect of the conference
theme. We hope to welcome a variety of presentations from the worlds of MFL,
EAL, EFL, ESOL and any other language learning context.
