Technology for Second Language Learning Conference Data-driven Approaches to Learning Phraseology and Formulaic Language: Computation, Co-selection, Contextualization, Cognition
Iowa State University
Friday September 18 and Saturday September 19, 2015

The annual Technology for Second Language Learning (TSLL) conference brings together researchers, developers and practitioners who are interested in improvements and innovations in the uses of technology in language learning.

This year, the conference will focus on phraseology and formulaic language. Technology-based pedagogy facilitates learners’ access to large collections of relevant texts where they can explore multi-word units. These new possibilities for the study of language and for learning raise many intriguing questions, such as:

    How are phraseological forms acquired in first or second language, both receptively and productively, and how can this knowledge contribute to designing technology-mediated language learning experiences?
    What innovative computational methods can be used to identify phraseological forms for specific purposes?
    How can computer-assisted language learning (CALL) applications (e.g. vocabulary learning software, automated writing evaluation tools, etc.) benefit from phraseological resources and information?
    How can corpus-derived materials, e.g. lists of phraseological forms, be used to improve language learning experiences?

Proposals must be submitted by June 1, 2015.
