The 4th International Conference on Language Documentation and Conservation (ICLDC), “Enriching Theory, Practice, & Application,” will be held February 26-March 1, 2015, at the Ala Moana Hotel in Honolulu. The 4th ICLDC is hosted by the Department of Linguistics and the National Foreign Language Resource Center at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa.

CALL FOR PROPOSALS
General papers, posters, and electronic posters; NSF-supported Special Sessions on Pedagogy in Language Documentation

1) CALL FOR PROPOSALS: GENERAL CONFERENCE PAPERS, POSTERS, AND ELECTRONIC POSTERS
Proposal deadline: August 31, 2014

Topics
The organizers especially welcome abstracts that address the conference theme, “Enriching Theory, Practice, & Application.” Discipline-wide reflection on the relationship between the documentation linguistic structure and language pedagogy is crucial if the proper documentation and conservation of endangered languages is to be effective. The aim here is two-fold: to create citizen scientists who can reflect on their language for the purpose of teaching and documenting without being hindered by metalanguage, and to enrich the contributions of linguists to linguistic theory and description via documentation.

2) CALL FOR PROPOSALS: NSF-SUPPORTED SPECIAL SESSIONS ON PEDAGOGY IN LANGUAGE CONSERVATION
Proposal deadline: May 31, 2014

Special Session topics and format
This year, the organizers are inviting proposals for a series of four Special Sessions on Pedagogy in Language Conservation. Each session will contain four talks and will be focused on a theme relating to the notion of pedagogy for endangered language teaching.
