Third International Conference on Constructionist Approaches to Language Pedagogy
February 15-17, 2018
University of Texas at Austin
The organizers invite theoretical, methodological, empirical, and pedagogical contributions dealing with:
Usage-based/constructionist approaches to (second) language learning and teaching, with a special focus on:
- learning processes, such as entrenchment, categorization, schematization, and generalization
- item-specific vs. item-general constructional knowledge and the lexicon-grammar continuum
- input/intake, input distributions, input processing, and input enhancement
- interaction, negotiation, elaboration, output, and feedback
- (selective) attention, noticing, and interfaces between implicit/incidental and explicit/intentional (second) language learning and teaching, including age effects
- individual differences in the domains of affect/motivation, aptitude/cognition (e.g., working memory, pattern recognition ability), and learned attention/conceptualization
Usage-based/constructionist approaches to (second) language assessment, primarily with regards to:
- varying degrees of productivity and the distinction between item-specific and item-general knowledge/patterns
- information packaging, degrees of explicitness, and pragmatic adequacy
- the elicitation of contextualized, meaningful language use
- the use and significance of structural priming and scaffolding in language testing
The creation of online learning and assessment tools using constructional and phraseological principles:
- use/development of tools to detect learner-specific errors in grammar use and understanding
- methods to align learner-specific errors with constructional requirements for licensed uses
- development of learning material for specific grammatical constructions
development of learning material for particular learner groups
- (considering, for example, systematic interferences between mother tongue and target language)
Deadline for submission: September 1, 2017
