TitleCall for Papers: International Teaching and Language Corpora Conference
Body
From http://talc8.isla.pt/callforpapers.html

The 8th international Teaching and Language Corpora conference (TaLC 8) will bring together practitioners and theorists with a common interest in the use of corpora for:

- first and second language teaching and learning
- language awareness raising
- teaching languages for specific purposes
- student-centered linguistic investigation
- interpreting and translation studies
- cultural and historical studies
- teaching literature
- developing pedagogic grammars and learner dictionaries

TALC 8 invites proposals for position papers, reports of work in progress, case-histories of successful corpus applications, and introductions to relevant new resources. Proposals may be for 20-minute papers or posters or software demonstrations.

We also welcome proposals for pre-conference tutorials and workshops. This year, we would particularly like this to include hands-on workshops on the use of corpora to teach specific languages, especially English, French, German, Portuguese and Spanish.

Proposals for papers, posters and software demos should be sent before 15 February 2008. Pre-conference tutorials and workshop proposals should be sent before 31 January 2008.
