Second Call for Papers

Dear colleagues,

We invite you to participate in and contribute to the "Authenticating
Language Learning:  Web Collaboration Meets Pedagogic Corpora" Symposium.

The call for papers is still open.

The symposium will take place from 17-19 February 2011 (Thursday-Saturday)
at the English Department, University of Tubingen (Germany).

Symposium website for further information, abstract submission and
registration: http://www.ael.uni-tuebingen.de/symposium.html

Theme of the symposium

This event will focus on using web collaboration, CMC and pedagogic corpora
in order to strengthen authentication in language learning and teaching.
Emphasis is thus on both content and communication-based learning activities
and on how computer mediated communication (CMC) and authentic materials or
corpus methodologies can be pedagogically integrated.

Our aim is to take stock of the current state of affairs in pedagogic corpus
and CMC-based language learning and teaching. Special attention will be
given to the needs of 'young' researchers in the field.

Target audience

The symposium is of particular interest for researchers and PhD students in
the fields of CALL, CMC or corpus research and applied linguistics,  as well
as for school and university teachers who are incorporating new
technologies, methods of telecollaboration or corpus-work in their language
teaching to create an authentic and enriching atmosphere for their learners.

The language of the symposium is English, but we welcome contributions on
all languages.

Pathway lectures will be delivered by

Ana Frankenberg-Garcia, ISLA & Universidade Nova de Lisboa
Bernd Ruschoff, University of Duisburg-Essen
Steven Thorne, University of Groningen & Portland State University

  Call for Papers

We welcome proposals for 20-minute paper presentations (plus 20 minutes
discussion) or posters focusing on using pedagogic corpora or CMC/web
collaboration to support authentication in content and communication-based
language learning and teaching.

Please submit a 300 word abstract (including a title) by 22 November 2010.
More information is available on the symposium website
<http://www.ael.uni-tuebingen.de/symposium.html> .

Notifications of acceptance will be sent out during the week beginning 13
December 2010.
