We are pleased to announce that the next biennial international
conference, “Constructionist Approaches to Language Pedagogy”
(CALP-5), will be held on March 4-6, 2026, at the University of Tromsø
- The Arctic University of Norway (UiT).
The confirmed invited plenary speakers include:
 • Hans C. Boas (University of Texas at Austin, USA)
 • Thomas Herbst (Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg,
Germany)
 • Margunn Rauset (University of Bergen, Norway)
 • Olesya Kisselev (University of South Carolina, USA)
We invite contributions that thoroughly explore constructionist
approaches to teaching first, second, foreign, or third languages,
with a focus on, but not limited to, the following topics:
 • Teaching a language via its constructions
 • Constructionist language resources for language pedagogy
 • ConstructiCons and constructicography
 • Construction-based exercises
 • Use of AI for building constructiCon resources
 • Use of AI for identifying and describing constructions
 • Use of AI for designing construction-based exercises
 • Construction-based design of language proficiency tests
 • Identification of constructions specific to professional jargon
 • Representation of dialectal constructions in language teaching
 • Contrastive studies of constructions and their use in language
instruction
 • Constructional rivalry
 • Constructions in heritage language
 • Acquisition of constructions
The working language of the conference is English. The oral
presentations will be 20 minutes long, followed by 10 minutes for
discussion, and a poster session will also be organized.
Please submit an abstract of no more than 500 words, excluding
references, clearly indicating the research question, data, methods,
and major contributions of the study. The deadline for abstract
submission is October 1, 2025, at 24:00 CET. All abstracts should be
submitted digitally via EasyChair (see the conference website). We
especially encourage the submission of abstracts by early career
researchers.
UiT is the northernmost university in the world, located in Arctic
Norway. It is ranked among the world's top 100 universities for
linguistics, according to the QS World University Rankings 2024: No.
67 globally and No. 1 for linguistics in Norway. UiT is renowned for
its large, active, and growing community of linguists. It serves as
the center for Cognitive Linguistics research in Norway, represented
by the CLEAR research group (Cognitive Linguistics: Empirical
Approaches to Russian and Other Languages) and the Tromsø
Constructicon Lab (ConLab), the primary hub for constructicography
research in Norway. Tromsø is regarded as the capital of the Arctic
and has been the starting point for North Pole expeditions. With a
population of about 79,000, Tromsø is known for its rich cultural
life, northern lights, and midnight sun. It is located at 69 degrees
north, 350 kilometers above the Arctic Circle. Tromsø has an
international airport, Langnes, located just 3 km from downtown. The
airport has recently been expanded and offers many direct flights
connecting Tromsø to Berlin, Helsinki, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Vienna,
Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Gdańsk, and other cities. You can also travel
from major cities in Norway, such as Oslo and Bergen, or reach Tromsø
by bus or car.
We look forward to welcoming you to Tromsø and having a productive and
enriching conference.
