Meeting Description:

This international conference provides an exchange platform for current
empirical insights into the learning and teaching of foreign (rather than
second) languages to young learners with a special focus on primary school
contexts (age 5-12). The aim is to better understand the factors which
contribute to effective and motivating early foreign language teaching and to
identify research gaps which need to be tackled in the future. With its clear
empirical focus, the conference strives to advance evidence-based insights
into early foreign language learning in instructional contexts. While the
conference language will be English, research on any target language and from
any part of the globe is welcome.


Call for Papers:

The ATFLY conference organizers would like to invite proposals for poster
presentations on research in the field of young language learners, to be held
on the second conference day (Friday, September 23) 12:00-13:00 (CET). Please
submit your poster proposals by June 3, 2022 via e-mail to
atfly at uni-wuppertal.de.

Your abstract should be about 350 words in length (excluding the reference
list) and contain the following:
- Author name(s), affiliation(s), and e-mail address(es)
- Title of project
- Goals of the research project
- Theoretical background
- Methodology and project runtime
- Outcomes/results to date with a clear connection to the conference theme
- Reference list of sources cited in the abstract text (if applicable)

one-year free subscription to the journal Language Teaching for Young Learners
