Meeting Description:
The Texas Language Education Research (TexLER) Conference, formerly known as TexFLEC, at The University of Texas at San Antonio is an annual conference that brings together researchers, educators, and students in the fields of foreign language education, TEFL/TESL (Teaching English as a Foreign or Second Language), linguistics, and applied linguistics. We have changed the name this year to reflect our evolving emphasis on supporting research in language education more broadly amongst graduate students, faculty, and educators.
Bridging the gap between research and practice is an inevitable challenge in the field of foreign/second language pedagogy. TexLER unites scholars and educators from diverse contexts who strive to connect research findings to classroom practices, thus shaping the future direction of language education. TexLER welcomes research studies and practice-oriented presentations that clearly establish strong connections between theory and practice in diverse contexts. Our goal is to offer an interdisciplinary forum for all those interested in research findings with implications for the classroom as well as those interested in pedagogical approaches to language learning grounded on empirical findings.
We’re also happy to announce that this year TexLER will host the “3rd International Research Colloquium: Educational Linguistics and Language Education”, which seeks to connect language education researchers in the U.S. and Mexico and beyond.
