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.
