Modern Language Association 1999 Convention
Division on Applied Linguistics
Chicago, Illinois

The Division on Applied Linguistics is sponsoring three separate sessions.
Session 1: Cross-Cultural Pragmatics in Spoken and Written Discourse
This session explores the culture-specific dimensions of speech acts
and/or the composition of written texts. Papers should report on original
research or make connections between research, theory, and teaching
practice.
Session 2: Language Acquisition and Content-based Language Instruction:
What Does Research Have to Say?
This session reveals what research tells us about the consequences for
language acquisition of integrating the study of language and content.
Papers can report on research concerning foreign language across the
curriculum (FLAC) programs or content-based instruction within the foreign
language departmental curriculum.
Session 3: The Role of Applied Linguistics in Departments of Language and
Literature
This session explores the political, intellectual, and professional
differences and/or common ground between the fields of applied
linguistics, literature, and cultural studies. Papers may consider issues
relating to department structure, professional development and
preparation, or interdisciplinary communication and relationships.
