TaLC2020: Teaching and Language Corpora conference UPVD Perpignan, France, July 15-18, 2020

Submission Guidelines for TaLC main conference

We request abstracts of 300-500 words for paper presentations. Papers reporting on empirical research should represent either completed work, or work in progress where some results can be reported. Presentations that take the form of a software demonstration are also welcome. Submissions for poster presentations may be shorter. Generally, we suggest submitting an abstract for a poster rather than a paper presentation for: (a) reports on research in its very early phases with no intermediate or final results to report or (b) reports on new corpus data resources.

Author names should not appear in the main body of the abstract. Abstracts can be uploaded as pdf files as well as plain text online. Authors should state whether it is a full paper or a poster proposal. The deadline for abstract submission is 2 February 2020 (new extended deadline).

Topics that are within the scope of TaLC include, but are not necessarily limited to, corpus-based approaches to language learning, teaching and assessment in the following areas:

• teaching first and second languages (including data-driven learning materials and student-centred linguistic investigation)
• teaching languages for specific purposes
• teaching interpreting and translation
• engaging with spoken data
• teaching intercultural communication
• developing pedagogic grammars and learner dictionaries
• developing corpora/tools/resources
• teacher education
• research on second language acquisition and learner corpus research
• teaching of corpus methods to students and researchers in linguistics
• etc.

Venue

The conference will be held at the University of Perpignan, France.
