Welcome!
The SLA graduate students at the University of Iowa and the University of Wisconsin–Madison have formed a partnership to host an annual SLA Graduate Student Symposium. Organizing and hosting the conference alternate between the universities. Graduate students in SLA and related disciplines present their work and meet distinguished researchers in their field.
The theme of the 2013 symposium is Contexts of Learning. Submissions may address the conference theme or any area related to current and future trends in SLA research including, but not limited to:
♦ generative, psycholinguistic, and social approaches
♦ technology in language teaching
♦ implications of SLA research for instruction
We seek proposals, both theoretical and empirical, from graduate student researchers that reflect the differing perspectives and methods currently used in SLA research. The research may be interdisciplinary in nature. Submissions based on pilot studies, pre-dissertation studies, or work-in-progress projects will be considered, as well as completed projects.
