Call Deadline: 01-May-2009
Meeting Description:
Second Language Research Forum (SLRF)
'Diverse contributions to SLA: Integrating the parts of a greater whole'.
October 29 - November 1, 2009
SLRF 2009 will be hosted by Michigan State University (MSU) in East Lansing, MI.
Call for Papers
This annual conference aims to create a forum for the presentation and
discussion of research in second language acquisition from a variety of
subfields including, but not limited to: theoretical linguistics,
sociolinguistics, anthropology, cognitive science, psychology, and educational
science.
SLRF 2009 asks how these varied methodologies and approaches compose a single
'field of SLA'.
We solicit papers, posters, and colloquia that address this question and that
add to our understanding of SLA.
Plenary Speakers:
Dr. Robert DeKeyser, University of Maryland
Dr. Susan Gass, Michigan State University
Dr. Jim Lantolf, Penn State University
Dr. Bonnie Schwartz, University of Hawaii
SLRF 2009 offers two workshops and three colloquia (one invited and two
refereed). The invited colloquium will be organized by Dr. Shawn Loewen, MSU. We
invite submissions for the other two colloquia.
Invited Colloquium: Current Issues in Focus on Form
Although considerable research has been conducted on focus on form (FonF), there
still remain numerous unanswered questions. This colloquium will consider FonF
from the perspectives of current SLA theory, research methodology and pedagogy.
Areas to be addressed include the role of social context, the measurement of
constructs (e.g. noticing), the intensity and frequency of focus, and the target
of focus, inter alia. The goal of the colloquium will be to advance the research
agenda for FonF.
Conference Workshops:
'Conducting Research with Learner Corpora' with Dr. Thomas Cobb,
University of Quebec at Montreal.
'Grant Acquisition Workshop' with Linda White, In-House Grant Writer for the MSU
Second Language Studies Program and Center for Language Education and Research
(CLEAR).
Submission Deadline: May 1, 2009
