Meeting Description:
Aims to bring together researchers and educators with an interest in the theory

Call for Papers
This conference invites papers that investigate task-based language
teaching, learning, and assessment from classroom and research
perspectives. It particularly welcomes papers that evaluate tasks and task-
based teaching in authentic pedagogical contexts from around the world. In
particular, preference will be given to papers that explore relationships among
different research perspectives and connections between research, theory,
and practice. All papers and colloquia should be strongly centred in the study
and use of language tasks or the various uses of tasks in language teaching.
We are inviting proposals for individual papers of 20 minutes (plus questions)
and proposals for colloquia (2 hours maximum including discussion). We also
invite proposals for posters.

abstract as an attachment either in Microsoft Word Document or in Rich Text
Format (RTF), and include any special fonts (e.g., IPA) you may have used.

such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match

EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company
operates such a program.
