Meeting Description:

In focusing on “Making Research Matter,” the 2018 Conference on Language,
Learning, and Culture seeks to stimulate conversations on how research and its
uses in society might be transformed if more of us were to make a point of
asking “for what, for whom, and by whom?”* at the outset of every research
endeavor.

Our aim is to involve a diverse group of practitioners, researchers,
policy-makers, community members, and other stakeholders in a multidirectional
sharing of perspectives, values, priorities, and expertise. We especially
welcome proposals involving projects in which the investigators considered the
users and uses of their research from the very beginning and made decisions
accordingly -- from action-research projects conducted by individual teachers
in their classrooms to larger-scale funded endeavors where collaborative teams
had an eye toward wider public engagement and policy impacts, and everything
in between.

We hope that this year’s conference will yield insights, tools, and
connections that improve all groups’ abilities to formulate meaningful
research questions; identify collaborators; establish research-practice
partnerships; maximize benefits to research participants; produce results that
are relevant and accessible to a variety of audiences; and ensure that
findings are not over-, under-, or misinterpreted in public conversations and
policy debates.

We hope to see you at our 5th annual CLLC!

For CLLC 2018, we especially welcome proposals in which the investigators

larger-scale funded endeavors where collaborative teams had an eye toward
wider public engagement and policy impacts, and everything in between.

We hope participants’ experiences at CLLC 2018 will yield insights, tools, and
connections that improve all groups’ abilities to formulate meaningful
research questions; identify collaborators and establish research-practice
partnerships; recruit and involve research participants in ways that maximize
their benefits; make the results accessible to a variety of audiences; and
ensure that findings are not misinterpreted in public conversations and policy
debates.
