The Department of Modern Languages at DePaul University

Will host The Chicago Language Symposium 2024


At the turn of the 21st Century, innovative approaches to language
teaching have placed the “learning by doing” principle into focus
based on the premise that students learn a language by using the
language. ACTFL’s Performance Indicators, influenced by the Can-Do
Statements of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages
(CEFR), have set the basis for instruction to be action-oriented where
the goal is for students to accomplish  relevant and engaging
real-world tasks and projects that need to be completed through the
use of the target language.  In such pedagogies, a communicative goal
is identified and the planning follows a backward design that sets the
path towards supporting and assessing students’ accomplishment of the
goal. In short, these innovative pedagogies put the student at the
center stage and, in addition to effectively promoting language
learning, they also foster creativity, critical thinking, problem
solving skills, and intentional examination of the world through
investigation. Our goal for the CLS 2024 is to explore how pedagogies
focused on experiential learning are designed and implemented in the
classroom.

Call for Papers:

Specific topic proposals may include:

Task-based language teaching
Project-based language teaching
Content-based language instruction
Content and language integrated learning
Integrated Performance Assessment

We welcome proposals that address or illustrate language teaching
reflecting these frameworks and that also may also incorporate
principles of diversity, equity and inclusion, technology-mediated
teaching and learning, multimodality, virtual realities, artificial
intelligence, accessibility, or community-based learning.

All presentations are 20 minutes long, plus 10 minutes for Q&A. All
presenters must present in-person. Language instructors at all levels
are invited to submit proposals; examples in any target language are
welcome, but the language of the symposium will be English.

Proposal submission deadline: Wednesday February 21st, 2024

NOTE: Since its founding in 1999, the Chicago Language Symposium has
allowed for lively conversations and sustained dialogues amongst its
participants through the course of the sessions. We would like to
continue that highly valued aspect of the meeting and have thus
established the following guidelines:
This will be primarily an in-person event
Remote participation will be allowed, however, opportunities for
remote-participant interaction during sessions will be limited (due to
the venue and logistics)
We require that all presenters attend in-person
Thank you in advance for your understanding and consideration.
