The graduate students at the University of Iowa and the University of Wisconsin–Madison have formed a partnership to host this annual conference, with organization and hosting of the conference alternating between the universities. Our purpose is to provide an opportunity for graduate students in SLA and related disciplines to present their work and meet distinguished researchers in their field. The theme of the 2009 symposium is “SLA in the 21st Century.”
We would like to present topics from a variety of areas that inform current and future trends in SLA research, including the following: generative, psycholinguistic, and social approaches, technology in language teaching, implications of SLA research for instruction, and others. We seek proposals from graduate student researchers, both theoretical and empirical, that reflect the differing perspectives and methods currently used in SLA research. The research may be interdisciplinary in nature. We are willing to consider pilot studies, pre-dissertation studies, or work-in-progress projects.
