The School of Linguistics and Language Studies at Carleton University will be hosting the 8th international conference on Task Based Language Teaching (TBLT) to be held in Ottawa, Canada, from August 19 to August 21, 2019. With the "TBLT: Insight, Instruction, Outcomes" theme, the conference aims to broaden the current perspectives on TBLT by focusing on the learner, teaching, and evaluation of learning by asking "what lies ahead?" To this end, the organizers invite researchers and educators from around the world to come together to gain knowledge and increase understanding about task-based theoretical insights, instructional practices, and assessment strategies.

The conference organizers invite proposals for papers that add to our knowledge and understanding about task-based theoretical insights, instructional practices, and assessment strategies. 

Relevant themes include but are not limited to: 
- Tasks in SLA 
- Tasks in language education 
- Theoretical perspectives on TBLT 
- Sociocultural aspects of TBLT 
- Task features, complexity, design 
- TBLT methodology 
- TBLT implementation and innovations 
- Technology-mediated TBLT 
- Tasks and the role of the learner 
- The role of the teacher and TBLT-based teacher education 
- TBLT in contexts 
- Needs analysis in TBLT 
- Task-based assessment 
- Evaluating task-based instruction, materials, and programs 

Submissions are invited for individual papers, colloquia, workshops, posters, and show-and-tell sessions.
