Meeting Description:
The Centre for Language Studies (CLS) of the National University of Singapore
(NUS) organises a biennial international conference on foreign language teaching
and learning. The conference aims at bringing together academics, researchers
and professionals from Asia and beyond for a productive and rewarding exchange
of insights, experiences, views and perspectives on current and future
developments in foreign language teaching and learning. The last three CLaSICs
met with resounding success and a highly encouraging response, attracting many
participants from all over the world.
We are pleased to announce the Fourth CLS International Conference (CLaSIC 2010)
to be held from 2 to 4 December 2010. The theme of the conference is:
"Individual Characteristics and Subjective Variables in Language Learning"
We would like to invite you and your colleagues to participate in this
conference and to present papers on the sub-themes listed in the Call for the
Papers below. We would be most grateful if you could circulate the information
about the conference within your institution and enclose a PDF copy of the
conference brochure for this purpose. If you require more information, please
feel free to email the CLaSIC 2010 Organising Committee at clasic2010nus.edu.sg.
Invited Keynote Speakers
We are delighted that the following four distinguished academics, all leading
researchers and educators in language education and applied linguistics, will be
delivering keynote lectures at CLaSIC 2010:
Dr. Karin Aguado (University of Kassel)
Dr. Naoko Aoki (Osaka University)
Dr. Richard Schmidt (University of Hawai'i)
Dr. Minglang Zhou (University of Maryland)
Call for Papers
Over the decades, research has rejected views of learners as passive processors
and highlighted instead their subject roles in learning. It is evident to
researchers and practitioners that learner characteristics such as age, gender,
aptitudes, motivation, beliefs, metacognition and learning strategies contribute
directly or indirectly to learning processes and outcomes. In view of the vast
differences between individuals, each learner biography becomes in effect an
individual case study. Yet these individual characteristics and subjective
variables interact with factors external to the learners, including especially
the cultural background, social environment and educational context, thus
underlining the fact that learners are, at the same time, social beings. In
selecting this theme, CLaSIC 2010 acknowledges the undoubted importance of
learners' - and teachers' - individual characteristics for foreign language
education. It hopes to engage participants in a fruitful and rewarding
discussion of these issues and to draw insightful conclusions for research and
practice.
CLaSIC 2010 Organising Committee invites submissions for Paper and Poster
Presentations on one of the following twelve sub-themes:
- Cognitive Factors in Language Teaching and Learning
- Affect in Language Teaching and Learning
- Language Learning Anxiety and Fear
- Teacher/Learner Beliefs, Attitudes and Assumptions
- Subjective Theories and Language Teaching and Learning
- Language Learning Motivation and Motivational Strategies
- Self-Concept and Self-Efficacy
- Metacognition and Language Learning Strategies
- Learner Characteristics and Individual Differences
- Cultural and Individual Notions of Autonomy
- Constructivist Approach to Language Learning
- Narrative and Life Story
Presentation proposals can be submitted online at the following URL, latest by
