Meeting Description: 

Applying insights from modern linguistics to language teaching and teacher
education is anything but new. However, recent years have seen a development
of approaches within modern linguistics that aim to reach out and engage more
actively with the field of language pedagogy. Given the conceptual background
of established language-teaching methodologies such as Communicative Language
Teaching or Critical Pedagogy, modern teacher education has shifted from the
rigorous study of language structure to a focus on communicative and
sociolinguistic underpinnings of teaching languages in a classroom. Our
workshop aims at building new bridges that close the gap between this ‘social
turn’ in educational linguistics and modern formal approaches to natural
language, to eventually explore new teaching methodologies.

We are particularly interested in current accounts in the language sciences
that systematically revise and manipulate existing teaching methods in the
second language classroom and that explore how different manipulations
facilitate the learning of a second language. In many linguistic approaches to
second language acquisition, language teaching is already being used as an
important variable –- and from here it is but a short step to developing
psychologically sound teaching materials for language pedagogy. The overall
goal of this workshop is to see a subsequent integration of issues and
insights from modern linguistics into language-teaching practice.
