Full Title: 8th International Conference on Writing Analytics: Academic Writing in Digital Contexts: Analytics, Tools, Mediality 

Date: 05-Sep-2019 - 06-Sep-2019
Location: Winterthur, Switzerland 
Contact Person: Christian Rapp
Meeting Email: writing-analytics at zhaw.ch
Web Site: https://writinganalytics.zhaw.ch 

Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics; Writing Systems 

Call Deadline: 21-Apr-2019 

Meeting Description:

Digital technologies transform writing and reading fundamentally and lead to
new forms of literacy, media use, writing habits and competence profiles.
Keeping pace with these developments is a challenge for not only writers in
academic settings but also writing teachers. There are simply too many
innovations and too little guidance to help select what might be useful for
writing classes or seminars. Similarly, for writing researchers, is it a great
challenge to react to new research needs and provide adequate methodologies
and research strategies. New research settings, media, data collection
opportunities and analytic methods have to be created and applied, which, in
turn, lead to new research perspectives, discourse communities and exchange
forums. In light of these challenges, this conference aims to bring together
various disciplines, covering composition and writing research, corpus and
computer linguistics, media studies, psychology and educational technology, to
provide a setting where knowledge, research results and methodological
concepts can be exchanged.

The conference addresses three distinct yet interrelated and complementary
study fields to provide a more complete and integrated understanding of the
impact new technologies have on writing and teaching of writing in higher
education, as well as their implications for learning, thinking,
communicating, language use and collaboration. We invite submissions that
focus on research-based and conceptually-elaborated studies in the following
three adjacent fields. The list of example topics is not exhaustive.


Call for Papers:

Writing Analytics

- Approaches and technology for data extraction, processing and visualization
- Analysis of data from large samples of texts in writing contexts

automatic correction etc.)

Conference Fee: 220 Swiss Francs / PhD Students: 110 Swiss Francs
