    Empirical perspectives on CLIL: Integrating language and content

    Date: 24-Jul-2005 - 29-Jul-2005 Location: Madison, WI, United States of America Contact: Christiane Dalton-Puffer Contact Email: christiane.dalton-pufferunivie.ac.at Meeting URL: http://www.aila2005.org/

    Linguistic Sub-field: Applied Linguistics ,Discourse Analysis

    Call Deadline: 01-May-2004

    Meeting Description:

    This is a symposium to be held during the AILA 2005 Congress. It aims to bring together researchers with an interest in language issues that arise in Content-and-Language-Integrated (CLIL or CBI) classrooms. This symposium intends to bring together researchers who are investigating characteristics of language produced in CLIL classrooms The points of interest may be located at any level of linguistic organization and will be concerned with issues and questions such as the following:

    # What are the characteristics of CLIL classroom discourse? Are these similar/different across contexts (linguistic, institutional, cultural)? # In what ways is CLIL classroom language different from (or the same as) FL classes and/or L1 content classes? # When CLIL happens in foreign language environments, what are the influences of the surrounding L1 culture on the CLIL classroom community? # What is the role of L1 and the nature of language contact in CLIL settings?

    The purpose is to invite reflection, share experiences and identify areas for future research and development grounded on empirical observations on what happens in CLIL classrooms.

    To ensure that the event retains its character as a symposium (rather than another string of papers), it is vital that enough time is left for discussion. This would translate into a 15-minute presentation with 15 minutes for questions and discussion.

    Please submit your 250-word abstract by 1 May 2004 to the two convenors

    christiane.dalton-pufferunivie.ac.at tnikulacampus.jyu.fi

    Notification of acceptance 20 May 2004. Due to the time restrictions for AILA symposia, we will only be able to accept 5-6 papers for the symposium itself. However, we are also looking into the possibilities of publishing a collection of articles on empirical CLIL research. We therefore invite you to send us your proposal even if you are not planning to attend AILA2005 but are working in this field.

    Call Deadline: 30-Nov-2004

    Meeting Description:

    The goal of the conference is to bring together contributions from different orientations within the field of grammaticalizatyion. As in the two previous conferences (NRG1, Potsdam 1999, and NRG2, Amsterdam 2002), we expect both the speakers and the audience to question old assumptionsand come up with new ideas on grammaticalization itself and on other related issues.

    Papers are invited on all aspects of grammaticalization. The actual length of the presentation will depend on the number of proposals accepted, but participants should allow for 20-30 minute presentations plus 10 minute question time. The final arrangement will be communicated together with the abstract acceptance notification.

    Abstracts must be between 400 and 600 words long and must (i) state clearly the purpose of the paper and the topic/problem to be discussed, (ii) specify the data used (if any), and (iii) list the relevant references.

    For abstract publication purposes, please, follow these formatting guidelines: your text should be in Times New Roman font (size 12pt), single-spaced and have 3cm margins on each side. The title, author�Euro(tm)s name and affiliation should be in bold type and centred on the lines at the top of the page.

    Please, send your abstract as an e-mail attachment to gramma3usc.es

    Proposals for workshops are also welcome. We would like all conference participants to be able to attend individual workshop presentations, and for this reason the NRG3 workshops have to be compatible with the main conference programme. This means that the format of the workshops must be organized around 30/40 minute presentations (20/30 min. + 10 min. discussion). Each worshop should comprise:

    1) An introductory paper by the convenor(s). It should summarize previous research, specify the approaches to be found in the workshop and explain the scope of the papers to be given.

    2) Up to 5 papers (20/30 min. + 10 min. discussion). The preference is for one-day workshops, but other schedules may also be considered. If this were the case, we could consider up to 9 papers per workshop.

    3) Final discussion (up to 90 min.) on topics covered by the papers, methodological issues and questions for future research. Please, send your abstract as an e-mail attachment to gramma3usc.es

    The deadline for workshop proposals is 30 November 2004.
