Linguistic Field(s): Cognitive Science; Language Acquisition 

Call Deadline: 15-Apr-2018 

Meeting Description:

The Second Language Research Forum is an annual conference organized by
graduate students for scholars interested in second language research.

Researchers in this growing interdisciplinary field study issues related
second language acquisition from a variety of disciplinary and theoretical
perspectives.

SLRF 2018 will focus on the Contribution of Cognitive Science to Second
Language Research. Cognitive science is the interdisciplinary study of the
mind and mental operations, bringing together various theoretical, empirical
and experimental perspectives to study language learning and the fluid and
dialectic relationships between cognition and other individual and social
variables such as personality, emotions, identity and acculturation. From this
perspective, learning a second language is not only a cognitive act, but also
an emotional one. Cognitive science has informed SLA research in a broad range
of fields. Some scholars have offered valuable insight into the role of
learners stable cognitive, emotional and personality traits on production,
learning and acculturation. Other scholars have examined the influence of
culture and language on learners’ identity construction and emotional
experience in a second language. And yet others have focused on relationships
between tasks, the learning environment and learners’ cognitive and emotional
experience in real time. This rich body of research points to a promising
future with emerging portraits of second language acquisition and
acculturation that we are collectively constructing.
