Call for articles
Special Issue on 'Time in language learning and teaching' in the journal Innovation in Language Learning and Teaching
Call Deadline: 30-Oct-2015

Time has always been a part of second language acquisition and language learning and teaching research. Acquisition and learning and teaching are essentially about change, and change is about being in different states at different times. In this special issue, the editors take a critical stance on the nature of 'time' as a construct and reflect on how our perspectives on time inform our understandings of research and language learning and teaching processes. The editors are open to any suggestions for articles that engage fundamentally with the concept of time in language learning and teaching. Some of the particular areas we hope to reflect on in the special issue include:

- Chronological or linear versus experiential or nonlinear time
- Prediction and experimentation versus retrodiction and explanation
- Individual, cultural, and subjective notions of time
- Remembered past time, ongoing experienced time, future anticipated time
- Longitudinal research (on multiple timescales)
- Individual and cultural orientations to time
- Language learning and teaching as historically situated in time
- Linguistic notions of time
