THE 16TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON FOREIGN AND SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION FIRST CIRCULAR AND CALL FOR PAPERS Dear Colleague, The Institute of English at the University of Silesia is pleased to invite you to our 16th International Conference on Foreign and Second Language Acquisition. Traditionally, this conference focuses on research in foreign language learning. Although all contributions related to the field are welcome, in the next year's Conference we would like to pay special attention to broadly understood language contact and language transfer in SLA. The event will be held in Szczyrk, a resort town in the Beskid Mountains of Southern Poland, from 22nd to 24th May 2003. An all-inclusive conference fee of approximately PLN 500 ($125) will be collected on arrival at the conference desk. Paper abstracts should be sent before January 31, 2003 to the Institute of English. The registration form, including the paper abstract, may be posted or sent by fax or e-mail. You will be allowed a 20 minute presentation, followed by 10 minutes for discussion.
