With its longstanding commitment to teaching and learning research and practice, Teachers College, Columbia University is proud to host the 35th Second Language Research Forum (SLRF) with a particular focus on Instructed Second Language Acquisition (ISLA). We hope to bring together students, teachers, and researchers to share, question, and reflect on past and current research, and more importantly, on the future of ISLA and its transdisciplinary relevance, especially to second and foreign language teaching.
Join us in September in New York City for one of the most prestigious conferences in second language teaching and learning
Confirmed plenary speakers:
Dr. Michael Long
Dr. Rod Ellis
Dr. Heidi Byrnes
Dr. Roy Lyster
Pre-conference workshop:
L2 Replication Research by Dr. Graeme Porte
Post-conference workshop:
Meta-analysis in Instructed L2 Research by Dr. Luke Plonsky
We cordially invite proposal submissions that seek to provide a nuanced, rather than black-and-white, understanding of instructional efficacy in SLA in light of complex questions such as: Which aspects of language are susceptible (or not) to which type of instruction to which learner(s) and at which stage of learner language development? As we look forward to facilitating a candid discussion on the theme of the conference, Thirty Years of ISLA: Learning, Instruction, Learning, and Outcome, we especially welcome the following:
- Longitudinal case or cross-sectional studies invoking elicited data and/or naturalistic data analyzed qualitatively and/or quantitatively
- Research syntheses (narrative reviews and meta-analyses are both encouraged)
- Replications of published studies
- Studies on the internal validity of the research methodology
Submission deadline: May 15, 2016
