Title: Call for Papers: TALGS 2005, NC
Body: From: http://core.ecu.edu/engl/talgs/conference/conference.htm TESOL/Applied Linguistics Grad Students East Carolina University Greenville, NC February 19th, 2005 8:00am-5:00pm Purpose: The purpose of this small, student-run conference is to provide a relaxed but serious environment where graduate students in Applied Linguistics and professionals working in the field of TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) can have the experience of presenting their work and receiving feedback. The TALGS Conference provides graduate students and TESOL professionals (including ESOL, TESL, EFL, ESL, TEFL, etc.) a forum to showcase their research and experiences. TALGS is committed to bettering the educational experiences of language learners in the community by providing a comfortable environment where an interaction between theory (the researchers) and practice (the teachers) is possible. Call for Papers: TALGS is not a theme-based conference. We encourage submissions from a variety of fields that can make a contribution to an understanding of language teaching or language learning. This year, we're especially interested in cross disciplinary proposal submissions. For instance, proposals with relevance to the language learning from the fields of sociolinguistics, sociology, education, foreign languages, and psychology will be considered. Proposals grounded in action research, works in progress, and pilot research are also welcome. Presentations requiring computer facilities can be accommodated. Multiple proposals will be considered. Proposals must be submitted electronically and must be received no later than January 19th, 2005.
