We are inviting proposals for presentations at Eurosla 26. All areas and approaches of the study of learning second/foreign/additional languages are welcome. The theme of the conference is Looking back, looking forward: Language learning research at the crossroads. Presentations of taking stock of what we have achieved and where we are going in a particular area of study are thus especially welcome. The Language Learning Roundtable will discuss second language learning by a variety of groups in a particular situation, to bring in new views for the Eurosla community. Such new openings are also welcome for the main part of the conference.
The academic programme will consist of presentations by the participants and the invited keynote speakers, as well as the doctoral student workshop on Wednesday, August 24, with feedback from senior researchers. The submission of presentation proposals opens on February 1, 2016, and closes on February 28, 2016. The proposals are submitted by filling in an online form.
