Title: Call for Papers: Conference on Central Asian Languages and Linguistics
Body:
From http://www.indiana.edu/~concall/
This fall, the Center for Languages of the Central Asian Region (CeLCAR) will be hosting the Second Conference on Central Asian Languages and Linguistics (ConCALL-2) at Indiana University from October 7-9, 2016.
ConCALL-2 was established in Spring 2014 as a professional development conference for linguists and language educators specializing in the languages of the Central Asian region, including both the Altaic and Eastern Indo-European languages spoken in the region, a diverse range of languages such as Azerbaijani, Dari, Kazakh, Mongolian, Pashto, Persian, Tajiki, Tibetan, Turkish, Tuvan, Uyghur, Uzbek, and more!
The main goal of ConCALL is to bring together professionals across the fields to focus on research into how these specific languages are represented formally, as well as acquired by second/foreign language learners and also to present research driven teaching methods.
The organizers are now accepting submissions for 20-minute paper presentations (with 10 minutes for questions and discussion) or poster presentations on topics related to Central Asian languages and linguistics within the conference theme: “Continuing the Journey: Strengthening the Central Asian Language Community.”
The submission deadline is June 3, 2016.

Title: Call for Chapter Proposals: When “Home” Means More Than One Country
Body:
From http://linguistlist.org/issues/27/27-1864.html
Call for Chapter Proposals
When "Home" Means More Than One Country: The Discursive (Re) Construction of Identities in Trans-National Migrant Communities
The proposed book will investigate the linguistic practices, norms and controversies woven around identity construction and reconstruction by, and of, migrants. By implication, it will contribute to scholarship on migrant/refugee discourse which, at present, is taking an unprecedented rate in the world. A proposed book of this nature is, therefore, important as it will provide new insights and perspectives to the studies on migrant communities.
Proposals Submission Deadline: 31 May, 2016

Title: Free Webinar on Language Testing
Body:
From the LTEST-L listserv:
Dear all,
IATEFL TEASIG will be holding a webinar on
11 May 2016 at 5pm UK local time / 6pm CET.
with Sheila Thorn, BA (Hons), PGCE, RSADipTEFLA, MSc, who will be speaking on:
Listening testing – time for a rethink? Currently listening testing focuses on the product of listening rather than the process of listening. In other words the emphasis is on listening comprehension rather than on decoding the sound substance. This has an impact on how we teach listening skills in the ELT classroom, but times are changing. In this webinar I shall make the case for a new approach to the teaching and testing of listening skills, using 100% authentic listening texts.
To find out what time the webinar airs where you are, check out the world clock here
The webinar is free and open to anyone who is interested. It will be recorded.
You can access the webinar through the IATEFL website www.iatefl.org or directly here: https://iatefl.adobeconnect.com/_a875541554/teasigwebinars/
We hope to meet many of you there!
With best wishes
