Meeting Description:
A 2 day conference, organised by the Language Learning and Teaching Special Interest Group of the British Association of Applied Linguistics. The goals of this conference are to explore, synthesise and build upon what is currently known about:
a) how instructed second/foreign language learners perceive, process and internalize environmental language, and
b) the teaching and learning of strategies which best promote this internalization.
Keynote Speakers:
Professor Merrill Swain, University of Toronto
Professor Suzanne Carroll, University of Calgary
Professor Michael Grenfell, University of Southampton

Call for Papers:
This event follows the highly successful BAAL/CUP seminar at York University in April 2005, at which the LLT SIG of BAAL was first launched. The overall aim of the SIG is to promote new thinking about language learning and teaching processes within BAAL, and within UK applied linguistics more generally. The goals of this second conference are to explore, synthesise and build upon what is currently known about:
a) how instructed second/foreign language learners perceive, process and internalize environmental language, and
b) the teaching and learning of strategies which best promote this internalization.
Papers and discussion will focus on the relationships between language perception and parsing processes, language practice, language use, and language learning, from different theoretical perspectives. Whether, and how, these interfaces can be enhanced by instruction will be of prime concern. A further important aim will be to identify methods and research agendas for investigating what learners do with the input they are exposed to in classrooms. The programme will also incorporate a strand of papers organized by UKPOLLS (UK Project on Language Learning Strategies).
We invite contributions relating to these themes from both established and less experienced researchers. The selection of individual papers will privilege reports of empirical research and/ or papers addressing methodological issues.
The final deadline for receipt of paper proposals is 3 February 2006.
Notification of acceptance of papers will be given by 17 February 2006.
Inquiries are welcomed by the SIG Coordinators and Conference organizers:
Prof Ros Mitchell, University of Southampton r.f.mitchell
soton.ac.uk for details of payment in pounds sterling by bank transfer.
Final deadline for receipt of registrations and full payment is 11 March 2006. Places are limited and while these are guaranteed to all presenters registering and paying by the deadline, other places will be allocated on a first come first served basis. Payments will be acknowledged and places confirmed immediately on receipt.
