| Title | Call for Papers: 19th Conference on Foreign/2nd Language Acquisition in Szczyrk, Poland |
| Body | From http://linguistlist.org/issues/18/18-75.html XIXth INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE on FOREIGN / SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION Szczyrk, Poland, 17-19 May 2007 Neurolinguistic perspectives on language acquisition and learning The Institute of English at the University of Silesia is pleased to announce the 19th International Conference on Foreign and Second Language Acquisition. Traditionally, this conference focuses on research in second and foreign language learning, concentrating each year on different aspects of the research field. This time we would like to give priority to the neurolinguistic perspective of language acquisition studies. With the rapid development of modern technology and research procedures undreamt of or too costly in the 20th century, neurolinguistics enables scientists to make increasingly intriguing and stimulating insights into the processes governing language acquisition, functioning and production in the human brain. It is one of those fields of research which, unlike any others within broadly understood linguistics, developed so significantly within the previous decade and where the necessity of updating one's knowledge seems an unquestionable necessity. For that reason, our conference stands a chance of becoming a unique opportunity for all those involved in language acquisition and learning studies, but working within different frameworks, to get familiarized with the latest insights offered by neurolinguists, on the one hand, and for neurolinguists to broaden their perspectives through contacts with scholars representing alternative paradigms, on the other. That is why the plenary sessions will be concentrating on the leading theme of the conference, whereas the presentations in sections will be divided into thematic areas focusing on various aspects of SLA research. All those wishing to contribute papers or just to attend presentations are welcome to participate in the conference. Paper abstracts should be sent before 31 January 2007 to the Institute of English. The registration form, including the paper abstract, may be posted or sent by fax or as an attachment to an e-mail. If you pay the fee to our account, please send us also a fax of the payment document. For more information, visit the conference website at http://uranos.cto.us.edu.pl/~icfsla . |
