Each author may submit no more than one single-authored and one co-authored (i.e. not first-authored) abstract to be considered for oral presentations, including colloquia and doctoral workshops. More than one abstract can be submitted for poster presentations. Paper and poster proposals should not have been previously published. All submissions will be reviewed anonymously by the scientific committee and evaluated in terms of rigour, clarity and significance of the contribution, as well as its relevance to the theme of the conference and second language research. Abstracts should not exceed 500 words (excluding the title, but including optional references)
Individual papers and posters
Papers will be allocated 20 minutes for presentation plus 5 minutes for discussion.
There will be two different poster sessions (on two different days). Each poster session will last 2 hrs. In order to foster interaction, all other sessions will be suspended during the poster session.
Thematic colloquia
The Thematic colloquium will be organised in two-hour slots running in parallel with other sessions. Each colloquium will focus on one specific topic and will bring together a maximum of four individual contributions to the topic. The thematic colloquia and the individual contributions will follow the same review process as individual papers and posters. Colloquium conveners should allocate time for opening and closing remarks, individual papers, discussants (if included) and general discussion. To submit to a thematic colloquium, the colloquium organiser shall submit the whole proposal according to the following directions : (1) Click on "submission" and fill in the fields indicating the title of the colloquium, the colloquium summary, the type of communication (choose "thematic colloquium" ) (2) indicate the names of the various participants in the "author" section, (3), in the " Files" section, upload the files of the different contributions to the thematic colloquium (1 per contribution) ensuring that they do not exceed 500 words each and making sure that the submission is strictly anonymous (no author name in the document) .
Doctoral student workshop
The doctoral student workshop is intended to serve as a platform for discussion of ongoing PhD research within any aspect of second language research. PhD students are invited to submit an abstract for a 10-15-minute presentation.
These sessions are not intended as opportunities to present research results, but to discuss future directions. Students whose abstracts are accepted will then be required to send their paper to a discussant (a senior researcher). The discussant will lead a 10-15-minute feedback/discussion session on their work.
Submission deadline: Feb., 27th, 2015
