CALL FOR PAPERS, LLT Special Issue on:
Corpora in Language Learning and Teaching

Special issue editors: Nina Vyatkina and Alex Boulton

For this special issue, the editors seek proposals that present theoretically grounded and methodologically rigorous empirical studies of language learning processes or outcomes in DDL contexts using corpora, broadly defined to include native speaker corpora, second language learner corpora, pedagogical corpora, multimodal corpora, the web-as-corpus, etc. These contexts may include direct explorations of corpora by learners, indirect applications with teacher-prepared corpus-based activities, and any combinations thereof. The editors especially welcome proposals that aim to fill existing research gaps by reporting on the use of new DDL technologies (e.g., corpus tools beyond concordancers, corpora in CALL packages), the effectiveness of different DDL types, specific DDL effects beneficial for language learning (e.g., input enrichment and enhancement, learner autonomy, guided induction), integration of DDL instruction modules into regular curricula, as well as languages other than English, instructional contexts other than university, teachers other than DDL researchers, and comparisons of different learning styles, motivations, levels, or profiles.

Please consult the LLT website for general guidelines on submission

Send a title and 300-word abstract in a word document by February 1, 2016 to llt@hawaii.edu
