Meeting Description: 

Conference topic: Depicting grammatical categories in theoretical linguistics
and language education

The depiction and conceptualization of grammatical categories vary widely, not
only depending on linguistic frameworks, but also when we consider interface
areas between theoretical linguistics and language education. A disparity is
particularly evident with respect to grammatical notions like word order,
tense or aspect and how these are employed in language pedagogy. Our workshop
provides an opportunity for researchers from educational linguistics and
modern formal approaches to natural language to communicate about useful ways
of implementing theoretical notions and visual representations in
corresponding application-oriented areas of grammar and language teaching. The
overall aim of our workshop is to explore new teaching methodologies and, by
approaching language pedagogy through a linguistic lens, to close the gap
between theory and practice in educational research.

The link between education and linguistics carries information not only from
linguistics to education but also vice versa (Hudson 2020) so that both fields
may profit from one another. The difficulties L2 learners of all proficiency
levels face when they deal with grammatical structures in the target language
occur partly because many traditional analyses do not offer appropriate
guidelines for teachers to formulate instructions which would make the
acquisition of these categories more systematic and thus successful (Flecken
2010). Against this background, it is LiDi 2022’s prospective goal to
contribute to closing the gap between theoretical perspectives on grammar, on
the one hand, and develop guidelines on how to convey these notions in
educational contexts, on the other.
