CFP ALSIC special issue on telecollaboration

 

Through the CALICO list

Call for proposals, ALSIC special issue on telecollaboration.

Submissions will be accepted in French or English. For more information, please see the link https://alsic.revues.org/2819
The studies included in this issue will:

cover the different players and bodies involved in telecollaboration projects;

focus on telecollaboration in primary, secondary and university teaching (or even outside any formal context), within the framework of multilingual and intercultural education;

relate experiences of language learning and teaching via telecollaboration and the use of synchronous and/or asynchronous tools;

opt for exchanges in tandem and/or in lingua franca;

reflect on methods of work (pooling, discussion, cooperation, working together), on negotiation of meaning and development of learning tasks, and on the link between proposed tasks and communication scenarios (Dejean-Thircuir & Mangenot, 2006);

highlight the intercultural and multilingual aspects of these exchanges and issues concerning stereotyping and conflicts of opinion (O’Dowd & Ritter, 2006) or even different educational cultures;

demonstrate the interest of approaches focused on reflexivity and (re)discovery of oneself and others under the prism of distancing implemented, for instance, by keeping logs and/or by verbal exchanges aimed at mediation and reflection (Schneider & Von der Emde, 2006).
Initially we require a 4,000-character abstract (not including spaces and references), to be sent to anthippi.potolia@univ-paris8.fr

and

sofia.stratilaki@univ-paris3.fr

by 30th October 2015. The selected authors must send their complete text in the first quarter of 2016. The submissions accepted will be published online during 2016. If you are interested and not able to send us an abstract by 30th October, you can still contact us by sending an e-mail.

CALL FOR PAPERS

Pragmatic strategies in non-native Englishes
ESSE Conference 2016

Galway (Ireland), 22-26 August 2016

We are glad to announce a Call for Papers for the Seminar Pragmatic strategies in non-native Englishes (see description below) to be held at the ESSE-13 Conference in Galway (August 22-26 2016).

Interested authors must submit paper proposals (title and 250 word abstract) by February 28, 2016 to the two convenors:

Lieven Buysse, KU Leuven (University of Leuven). lieven.buysse@kuleuven.be
Jesús Romero-Trillo, UAM (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid). jesus.romero@uam.es
Paper acceptance will be notified by March 31, 2016.

Seminar description

Research on non-native speech has long been dominated by an emphasis on lexical and grammatical patterns. At the same time the various types of non-native varieties of English have often been treated from these perspectives too. To broaden the scope, this seminar wishes to explore the variety of discourse pragmatic strategies employed in non-native Englishes, encompassing second language (ESL), learner (EFL) and lingua franca varieties of English (ELF). Papers can focus on any pragmatic feature that helps to shape discourse and/or facilitates interaction (e.g. pragmatic markers, politeness phenomena, prosody). The research must be based on solid corpus data.
