CALL FOR PAPERS
The 3rd ERL Conference aims to collect different perspectives from around the globe concerning what the educational role of language is.
We want to discuss this fundamental question in relation to language
beliefs (i.e. what concepts the role of language rests on), language
activity (what language activity supports the development the best),
language experience (what emotional position to language on the part of
learners is fostered by different educational systems) and language
matrices (what language images/representations serve educational
purposes the best). For more questions, see http://www.educationalroleoflanguage.ug.edu.pl/3rd-conf-scope.
Prospective
presenters are encouraged to submit proposals for papers and
demonstrations/posters that offer theoretically- or empirically-grounded
answers to any of the aforementioned questions. Ideally, they might
include in the papers/presentations a direct reply to the ERL III’s main question
in as simple a fashion as possible so that all the participants can
better appreciate their perspective. We welcome proposals from educators
and scientists representing various language-related positions,
including teachers of different nationalities, pedagogues,
psycholinguists, sociolinguists, educational theoreticians,
anthropologists of language, and all others whose work combines
linguistic and educational studies. The ERL III’s main
languages are English and Lithuanian, but we also accept proposals in
other languages and we shall provide interpreters should it prove more
convenient.
The Conference Proceedings will be submitted
for evaluation and indexing in Thomson Reuters Conference Citation
Index. Preceded by ERL I and ERL II at the University of Gdansk, the ERL
III Conference is additionally meant to strengthen and expand our
international cooperation undertaken as the Educational Role of Language
Network. This being the case, the ERL III Conference shall also serve –
similarly to the first two ERL conferences – as a platform for live discussions of international pedagogically-linguistic projects. For more on the Network, see http://educationalroleoflanguage.ug.edu.pl/aims-projects or http://educationalroleoflanguage.ug.edu.pl/teams-studies.
ERL
papers have been published in ranked journals and interdisciplinary
monograph, which we wish to be the case also with those from the ERL III
Conference. As their destinations varies and is decided on after the
conference (depending mostly on whether particular papers are more
pedagogically- or linguistically-oriented), we request prospective
presenters/authors to essentially follow APA guidelines. (the GOOD NEWS
is that currently one issue of a ranked journal has already been secured
for publications from the ERL III conference only). All further information on specific journals and rules shall be available at the ERL website.
Please note that:
- the deadline for paper proposals and conference registration is 31 March 2018
Early submissions are most welcome so that we can prepare the programme in advance
- at the ERL Conferences we build up projects-oriented teams, which you may join.
