abstract submission deadline: 06 December 2024
We are inviting proposals for presentations at EuroSLA 34 to be held in Tromsø, Norway, June 25 – 28 2025.
We welcome submissions in all areas and approaches to the study of second, foreign or additional languages, bilingualism and multilingualism.
Generally considered the foremost meeting for second language researchers in Europe, the 2025 conference of the European Second Language Association (EuroSLA) will bring together for the thirty-fourth year researchers working on second language acquisition, processing, and use from across the world.
Academic Program
The academic program will include presentations by four invited keynote speakers:
Kara Morgan-Short (University of Illinois)
Theres Grüter (University of Hawaii)
Patrick Rebuschat (Lancaster University)
Bernadette O’Rourke (University of Glasgow)
Doctoral Workshop and Roundtable.
The conference will also offer a doctoral student workshop and a roundtable on the topic "From language learners to New Speakers and their role in language revitalization".
Types of presentations
· Individual Papers
· Length of presentation 20 min followed by 5 min for Q&A
· Posters A0. Landscape or portrait
· Papers at the doctoral student workshop
Length of presentation: 15 min of talk by the doctoral student, followed by 10 minutes for discussion.
The doctoral student workshop aims at fostering discussions of ongoing PhD research, as well as at obtaining feedback from senior researchers and other doctoral students. These workshops provide an opportunity for PhD students to present and discuss their work and explore future directions (25 minutes). Doctoral students whose abstracts are accepted are required to send their abstract, presentation, and a limited number of specific questions to the senior discussant ahead of the conference. The discussant will lead a 10-minute feedback/discussion session of the PhD work.
Abstract Submission Information
The submission of presentation proposals closes on 06 December 2024. We particularly encourage the submission of poster proposals given that the number of paper slots are limited. We believe that poster sessions are an excellent opportunity to discuss research with other delegates on a more informal basis.
The proposals for all presentations will be evaluated by at least three members of the EuroSLA 34 Scientific Committee. Evaluation criteria include:
- Quality of the content
- Clarity of the content
- Contribution to the field
Please note that you will have to create a SoftConf account to be able to submit your abstract.
Notification of acceptance will be communicated by 20 February 2025.
Length of Abstracts
Individual papers, papers at the doctoral student workshop, or posters: max 500 words.
Language Policy
The working language of the conference is English, but presentations are also welcome in other European languages.
