Four invited colloquia complementing the plenary topics have been arranged. As in previous years, proposals for presentations related to policy, research, and theory are invited in any of the applied linguistics topic areas.
All abstracts undergo blind peer review.
For the same reason, presenters will be allowed to appear on the program only once, except when they have been asked to serve as a discussant or session chair as well. Some revision has been made in the topic areas in which proposals will be reviewed. New names and new areas are designed to be even more inclusive than before by making a place for research foci, orientations, and paradigms that applied linguistics scholars and researchers recently have adopted and find useful in their work. Student member volunteers will have their registration fees waived. Contact the Business Office for details.
