6th Workshop on Portuguese as a Second Language - Acquisition and Teaching

Call Deadline: 15-Oct-2018

The Linguistics Research Centre of NOVA University of Lisbon (CLUNL) is
inviting submissions for the 6th Workshop on Portuguese as a second language:
acquisition and teaching, which will be held at NOVA FCSH on 18-19 January
2019. Submissions are invited for papers focussing on different aspects of the
acquisition and learning of Portuguese as a second language (PL2), and/or
their links with language teaching.

Of particular interest are questions such as the following:

(1) How are properties from different linguistic domains (lexicon, phonology,
morphosyntax, discourse, etc.) acquired in PL2 and how do they develop? 
(2) Which factors influence the acquisition and development of PL2 (the
learner’ L1, age, knowledge of other foreign languages, social and cultural
factors, etc.)?
(3) How can a better understanding of the process of PL2 acquisition
contribute to the development of more effective teaching strategies and
materials?  
(4) How does explicit teaching influence the process of PL2 acquisition and
development? 
(5) How can the teaching of Portuguese be adapted to different target groups
according to the learning context (e.g. official language, foreign language,
heritage language), age, etc.?
(6) What are the linguistic correlates of each proficiency level in
Portuguese?
(7) What are the most effective tools for proficiency assessment in PL2?

Invited speakers:

Pedro Guijarro-Fuentes (Universitat de les Illes Balears) 
Rui Vaz (Camões IP)
