Meeting Description:

(Symposium S065, World Congress of Applied Linguistics)

The symposium “Interdisciplinary approaches to L2 fluency” aims to connect L2
fluency researchers from different fields. We encourage proposals that
approach L2 fluency from theoretically or methodologically novel perspectives,
including themes such as multimodality in L2 fluency, L1 influence on L2
fluency, or psycholinguistic methods applied to L2 fluency studies.

The symposium focuses on current trends in L2 (second language) fluency
research. L2 fluency is a complex phenomenon that has been studied from
various perspectives, notably as an indicator of oral proficiency. Being
studied as one dimension of L2 proficiency (see the CAF framework, e.g.,
Housen, Kuiken & Vedder, 2012), L2 fluency is a current topic in SLA and
relevant to applied linguistic research more broadly. Moreover, besides L2
learning, fluency has also been explored in other fields, including
translation, sign language, language assessment, and English as a lingua
franca research. The symposium aims to bring together researchers working on
fluency-related topics to build connections across disciplines. A forthcoming
volume focusing on current approaches to L2 fluency, titled “Fluency in L2
Learning and Use” (Multilingual Matters; edited by Pekka Lintunen, Maarit
Mutta & Pauliina Peltonen), forms the foundation for the workshop. By bringing
together different perspectives on L2 fluency and building on the
multidisciplinary approach to L2 fluency introduced in the volume, the
symposium extends current L2 fluency research to new areas and provides
directions for future L2 fluency studies. In particular, the symposium
highlights theoretically or methodologically novel perspectives on L2 fluency,
including, e.g., multimodality and fluency in interaction.
