Title: Call for Papers: New England Regional Association for Language Learning Technology Fall Conference
Body:
New England Regional Association for Language Learning Technology Fall Conference Technology for language education: Making need-based and pedagogy-driven choices
Brown University - Providence, RI
October 23 & 24, 2014
It’s great when faculty and language support personnel have the luxury of choosing the technology they need for particular pedagogical purposes, but it’s probably not a reality at most institutions. Whether for budgetary reasons, the need for technology to meet needs of multiple departments, or for other reasons, institutions often make choices with varying degrees of input from language programs. This conference will present and explore a number of approaches to meeting instructors’ and learners’ needs.
The submission deadline is Monday, September 15th 2014.

Title: Call for Papers: Generative Approaches to Language Acquisition
Body:
From https://sites.google.com/site/2015galana/
The 6th bi-annual Generative Approaches to Language Acquisition - North America will be held at the University of Maryland in College Park, MD on February 19-21, 2015.
GALANA provides an outlet for cutting edge work on language acquisition, relating results in first and second language acquisition to detailed hypotheses about developing grammatical representations, the mechanisms by which these representations are acquired, and the information processing mechanisms through which these representations are engaged in real time language use by first and second language learners.
For the General Session, abstracts are invited for original, unpublished generative research in all acquisition subfields: L1 acquisition, L2 acquisition, bilingualism, creoles and pidgins, and language disorders.
For the Special Session, the organizers invite abstract submissions for presentations that address the question of how a given grammatical formalism or set of grammatical principles helps to solve particular learnability problems in language acquisition.
DEADLINE FOR ABSTRACT SUBMISSION: October 6th, 2014 by 5pm EST

Title: Call for Papers: Special Issue on Technology-mediated Task-based English Language Learning
Body:
From http://linguistlist.org/issues/25/25-2901.html
The Journal of Teaching English with Technology (TEwT) is seeking contributions for its special issue on Technology-mediated task-based English language learning, edited by Anna Franca Plastina, University of Calabria, Italy, to appear in April 2015.
The potential synergy between task-based language learning (TBLL) and the use of technology presents a number of challenges for current English teachers. Nevertheless, "anyone concerned with second language teaching and learning in the 21st century needs to grasp the nature of the unique technology-mediated tasks learners can engage in for language acquisition" (Chapelle, 2001:2).
Call Deadline: 15-Nov-2014
