RELC Conference Centre and Hotel
The International Society for Language Studies (ISLS) promotes research on critical discourse and language matters, broadly conceived, including the teaching and learning of second /foreign languages and general education (mother tongue). The 2006 meeting of the ISLS marks a unique partnership with the English Language & Literature Academic Group of the National Institute of Education. This cooperation has resulted in a two-day research conference, followed immediately by a one-day Research into Practice conference. The third day, also co-sponsored by the Singapore Teachers Union, by focusing upon Research into Practice will provide attendees with the opportunity to attend workshops and explore issues and opportunities of language studies with Singapore-based educators.
2006 Featured keynote speakers
Professor Allan Luke
Foundation Dean, Centre for Research in Pedagogy and Practice, National Institute of Education ''Socrates and Freire Meet in a Hawker Stall: Eurocentrism, Post-postcolonialism and the 'Critical' in Asia''
Professor Tara Goldstein
Ontario Institute of Studies in Education, University of Toronto
''Dilemmas of Speech and Silence in Multilingual Classroom''
Papers for the research conference may be submitted for the following sessions strands:
- Discourse and Identity
- Education
- Interdisciplinary Foci
- Language Professions
- Pedagogy
- Asian Pedagogies
- Policy
- Research Methodology
- Teacher Development
- Technology
Research presentation proposals are accepted via the ISLS website. Various presentation formats are possible: paper session (comprised of two-three individual paper presentations), symposium, and seminar. We particularly encourage multiple paper proposals as a venue for scholars engaged in research and dialogue on special interest topics. Proposals are limited to 600 words.
As an international organization with members from every continent, ISLS encourages a multilingual event. In particular, the co-sponsorship of the 2006 conference with the Singapore-based English Language & Literature Academic Group of the National Institute of Education offers a unique opportunity to consider the diverse and fluid nature of languages in a synergistically multilingual local context. Although the principal language of the conference will be English, presenters may present papers in the language of their choice. In an effort to appeal to the broadest of audiences, presenters are strongly urged to prepare support materials in English (handouts, transparencies, slides). Sessions will be organized by topic, not language, unless a group of authors propose an entire session.
Start date of acceptance of proposal: 15 June, 2005
Deadline extended for proposals: 15 OCTOBER, 2005 (Midnight, EST)
