Call for Papers: 

Abstract submissions are invited to the second Central Asia Language and
Education Conference (CALE) to be hosted by KIMEP University in Almaty,
Kazakhstan, via Zoom on May 26-27, 2022. This conference welcomes researchers
working on language education, sociolinguistics, linguistics, second language
acquisition, TESOL, and related disciplines. Although the conference overall
has a special interest in how issues of language and language education play
out in Central Asia, papers do not need to be related to Central Asia, and
researchers do not need to be based in the region.

The theme of this year’s conference is “English as a Medium of Instruction in
Central Asia.” Papers are encouraged to address this theme but not required.
We welcome papers related to all topics listed below.

Individual paper presentations should report on original research by one or
more authors. Individual papers will be allocated 20 minutes for presentation
plus 5 minutes for discussion.

First authors, presenters, and other attending participants must register for
the conference. Each participant may submit only one abstract as the first or
sole author, but can be a second, or subsequent, co-author of another paper or
papers.

The working languages of the conference will be English, Kazakh, and Russian.
Plenary talks will be held in English, but abstracts may be submitted in any
of the three working languages.

The conference will be free of charge but registration is required.

The conference will take place online, but – local conditions permitting – we
will have an in-person reception at 19:00 on May 26 for registered
participants in Almaty. More information about this reception will be provided
after registration.

Papers presented at the conference will be eligible for publication in the
journal Language, Culture, Environment (https://www.kimep.kz/lcej/). Further
information about publication opportunities is forthcoming. 

Submission:

Abstracts should be a maximum of 250 words (including any references) and
submitted in .pdf, .doc, or .docx format to cale2020 at kimep.kz by 23:59 on 4
April 2022, East Kazakhstan Time (GMT +6).

Abstracts should address the theoretical basis, methodology, data, and
significance of the research. 

Abstract topics may include:

Language teaching, applied linguistics
Language acquisition
Sociolinguistics
Formal linguistics
Education and language policy
Language and literacy
Teaching literature and culture
Translation studies

Important Dates

Closing date for abstract submissions: April 4, 2022
