Date: 07-May-2009 From: Alexander Kravchenko <sashakrhotmail.com> Subject: Cognitive Dynamics in Linguistic Interactions E-mail this message to a friend Full Title: Cognitive Dynamics in Linguistic Interactions Short Title: CDLI-2010 Date: 17-Jun-2010 - 20-Jun-2010 Location: Irkutsk, Russia Contact Person: Alexander Kravchenko Meeting Email: sashakrisea.ru Web Site: http://www.isea.ru/conf Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics; Cognitive Science; Language Acquisition; Philosophy of Language; Sociolinguistics Call Deadline: 15-Dec-2009 Meeting Description: The aim of the conference is to pursue dialogue between applied linguists and theoreticians about methodological issues in linguistic education. In the era of globalization, when political and administrative borders in the educational sphere are brought down, issues of international and intercultural communication in different professional areas become even more acute. There is a growing demand to increase the efficiency of higher learning educational programs called upon to enhance the second or foreign language communicative competence of would-be specialists. Yet it is no secret that the existing methods of teaching a foreign or second language are far from being satisfactory in terms of expected efficiency. This is symptomatic of a general methodological problem: we lack holistic understanding of how natural language shapes the cognitive domain of human interactions. The conference aims to contribute to the ongoing discussion of the problem in the cognitive/linguistic community. Venue Description: The City of Irkutsk is a major cultural and educational center in Eastern Siberia. Founded in 1661 at the junction of two rivers, the Irkut and the Angara, it has a rich history and boasts a unique combination of old wooden and modern architecture, numerous museums, picturesque landmarks, and, above all, is a gateway to one of the greatest wonders of the world - Lake Baikal. Conference events will include: conference dinner, excursions about the city and to an architecture and ethnography museum in the settlement of Taltsy by the River Angara. After the conference, on 20 June: a one-day train trip on the scenic Circum-Baikal Railroad that will give you a load of unforgettable memories.
