Complexity, Fluency and Accuracy in 2nd Language Use, Learning and Teaching

29-Mar-2007 - 30-Mar-2007
Brussels, Belgium

Call Deadline: 30-Sep-2006

Meeting Description:
This event is organised by the Centre for Research on Language Learning and Teaching (ACQUILANG) of the University of Brussels (VUB) & the AILA Research Network on 'Task complexity and Second Language Learning' (TacoSell).

We invite proposals for presentations that reflect the converging approaches and methods that different disciplines (linguistic, cognitive, neurolinguistic, pedagogic) bring to the study of complexity, fluency and accuracy as fundamental dimension of language proficiency in second/foreign language use, development, learning and teaching.

Questions to be addressed may include:
-How can complexity, fluency and accuracy be envisaged and defined as constructs?
-What are possible linguistic, cognitive, psycholinguistic and neurolinguistic correlates of complexity, fluency and accuracy?
-How can complexity, fluency and accuracy be operationalized and measured?
-How do complexity, fluency and accuracy develop in the process of L2 learning? To what extent are they are interdependent?
-Which factors influence the development of complexity, fluency and accuracy in L2 learning and use? To what extent are they open to pedagogic intervention?

The complete call is available in English and French at http://linguistlist.org/issues/17/17-2315.html .
