Meeting Description:
The Second Language Research Forum (SLRF) is a prestigious and internationally renowned conference which brings together researchers in second language acquisition (SLA) from all over the world. It is the premier conference on SLA in North America providing a venue for established scholars and graduate students to present work on a wide variety of theoretical and empirical issues in SLA including cognitive, linguistic and sociolinguistic SLA research conducted in both laboratory and classroom settings.
The theme of the conference is "In Search of the 'Zen' of Second Language Acquisition: Examining the Learner at the Crossroads of Language, Culture and Identity." With our theme, we seek to gain clarity around the experiences of SLA with a focus on various sociocultural facets of language learners. We are seeking proposals that reflect the converging approaches and methods that different disciplines bring to the study of language, culture, and identity.
