From https://linguistlist.org/issues/29/29-4039.html
The School of Linguistics and Language Studies at Carleton University will be hosting the 8th international conference on Task Based Language Teaching (TBLT) to be held in Ottawa, Canada, from August 19 to August 21, 2019. With the "TBLT: Insight, Instruction, Outcomes" theme, the conference aims to broaden the current perspectives on TBLT by focusing on the learner, teaching, and evaluation of learning by asking "what lies ahead?" To this end, the organizers invite researchers and educators from around the world to come together to gain knowledge and increase understanding about task-based theoretical insights, instructional practices, and assessment strategies.
The conference organizers invite proposals for papers that add to our knowledge and understanding about task-based theoretical insights, instructional practices, and assessment strategies.
Relevant themes include but are not limited to:
- Tasks in SLA
- Tasks in language education
- Theoretical perspectives on TBLT
- Sociocultural aspects of TBLT
- Task features, complexity, design
- TBLT methodology
- TBLT implementation and innovations
- Technology-mediated TBLT
- Tasks and the role of the learner
- The role of the teacher and TBLT-based teacher education
- TBLT in contexts
- Needs analysis in TBLT
- Task-based assessment
- Evaluating task-based instruction, materials, and programs
Submissions are invited for individual papers, colloquia, workshops, posters, and show-and-tell sessions.
All proposals should be submitted by December 1, 2018 at https://www.conftool.org/tblt2019/

Title: Researchers Use Deep Learning to Build Automatic Speech Recognition System to Help Preserve the Seneca Language
Body:
From https://phys.org/
A new research project at Rochester Institute of Technology will help document the endangered language of the Seneca Indian Nation. Using deep learning, a form of artificial intelligence, RIT researchers are building an automatic speech recognition application to document and transcribe the traditional language of the Seneca people. The work is also intended to be a technological resource to preserve other rare or vanishing languages.
