Meeting Description:
The International Society for Language Studies is pleased to announce that
it will hold the biennial conference June 23-25, 2011 at the Renaissance
Aruba Resort & Casino in Oranjestad, Aruba. We join Aruba, an island and
autonomous state within the Kingdom of the Netherlands lying just 27
kilometers north of Venezuela, as they celebrate 25 years of independence,
or status aparte. Language in Aruba includes the official languages of Dutch
and the creole Papiamento. All Aruban students are also expected to learn
English. The diverse culture and rich history of the island, like many islands
in the Caribbean, form an appropriate backdrop for the ISLS 2011
conference.
Call For Papers
The International Society for Language Studies will hold its 2011
Conference June 23-25, 2011 at the Renaissance Aruba Resort & Casino in
Aruba. The theme of the conference will be "Critical Language Studies:
Focusing on Identity." Paper and poster session proposal submission will
open on April 1, 2010, and conclude on September 1, 2010. Submissions
will not be accepted after the September 1 deadline. Notification of proposal
acceptance and rejection will be sent in October, 2010. All presenters who
have not registered for the conference by November 1st, 2010, will be
removed from the program. Selected conference papers will be published
by ISLS in the Readings in Language Studies Series in 2012.
About the Theme:
Language is more than the words that are communicated from one to
another. Language represents our identity in terms of our relationships with
others, how we are connected to others, power between individuals or
groups, and so forth. The focus of this conference provides the opportunity
for scholars to explore the many possible connections between language
and identity. In order to provide a guide and structure to the theme, the
following represent possible key words (called strands) to describe your
proposed session.
Strands:
Discourse and Identity
Language & Identity in the Professions & Workplace
Language Teaching Practices & Pedagogy
Policy
Language & Culture
Other
Explanation of Strands:
Discourse and Identity
-This key word should be used to describe original research on issues of
discourse and identity in language and literacy research. Individual
proposals may focus on: the relationship between language practices and
identity, identity construction within particular linguistic spaces, bridging
identity theory and SLA theory, the influence of contexts on language
learners' identities, and related areas of inquiry.
Language & Identity in the Professions and Workplace
-This key word should be used to describe proposals that investigate the
intersection of identity & language, as they are related to research,
teaching, and professional and workplace practice. Papers may focus on
areas such as language use in these contexts, as it relates to identity;
language analysis as it relates to identity (theoretical and applied
phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and discourse analysis); or
language processing at it relates to identity (computational linguistics,
neurolinguistics, psycholinguistics).
Language Teaching Practices and Pedagogy
-This key word should be used to describe proposals that address theory,
research, or practice of any aspect of language teaching and learning within
the context of identity. Papers may include topics such as assessment,
curriculum, instruction, teacher preparation and inservice, teacher
development, and other maters related to culturally and linguistically diverse
learners.
Policy
-This key word should be used to describe proposals that address issues
related to language policy within the context of identity. Interdisciplinary
studies are encouraged and research utilizing a variety of methodologies is
sought. Papers may focus on language policy formation, language planning,
language rights, language education policy and other related areas of study
in complex, multilingual societies. Empirical studies contributing to theories
of language policy and the identification of emergent issues related to
identity are welcome.
Language and Culture
-This key word should be used to describe proposals that address issues
related to conceptualizations of language in the public imaginary. Papers
may include topics such as language variety and discrimination, the
commodification of culture, and similar sociolinguistic concerns, as they
relate to identity.
Other
-Not sure which key word best fits for your proposal? Choose this key word
and the Conference Chairs will work to place your proposal with relevant
papers in a session.
