------------------
Dear colleague

This is a warm invitation to submit a paper to the 'Autonomy and
Language Learning: Maintaining Control' conference, which will be held
in Hong Kong and Hangzhou (China) from 14-18 June 2004. This conference
echoes the 'Autonomy and Language Learning' conference we held in 1994,
and the 1996 publication that followed it, 'Taking Control: Autonomy in
Language Learning'.

One of the main aims of this conference is to highlight what has (and
has not) been achieved in the field of learner autonomy in language
learning in the last 10 years.

The conference themes include:

* the rhetoric and practice of learner autonomy in the modern world
* learner autonomy and teacher autonomy
* developing learner autonomy in the classroom (from primary to tertiary
levels)
* self-directed and self-access language learning
* technology and learner autonomy

This will be a major conference, of interest to teachers and researchers
both in Asia and around the world. The keynote speakers  are: Naoko
Aoki, Phil Benson, Leni Dam, Edith Esch, David Little and Philip Riley.
The invited speakers are: Andy Barfield, Sara Cotterall, Terry Lamb,
Lindsay Miller, Marina Mozzon-McPherson, Mike Nix and Barbara Sinclair.

The five-day, two-site nature of the conference provides a chance for
extended discussion and networking with conference participants.

Your abstract should address the conference topic of OEAutonomy and
Language Learning$E2 and any of its related themes. Your presentation can
be given in any of the following formats:

Paper presentation (40 minutes)
Poster presentation
Demonstration (40 minutes)
Workshop (90 minutes)
Colloquium (135 minutes)

Your abstract should be no more than 250 words long, completed on the
conference Abstract Form (available from the website below), and
submitted by 31 December 2003.

Full details: http://lc.ust.hk/~centre/conf2004/

Good luck with your abstract, and we hope to see you in June 2004!

Organising Committees)
