The list will only include paid members. Honorary members, the editorial board of the Journal of Celtic Language Learning , will not be included. Also those who have received a number of complementary copies as well as 1994-95 paid members who have not renewed their dues will not be included. The major goal of our organization as recognized in our constitution is to enable Celtic language instructors and applied linguists to contribute to the greater field of second language learning through conference participation and publications. Conference participation includes attending a conference, chairing a session, as well as presenting a paper.
Papers generally present research findings or theoretical explanations of a topic in question.
However in more applied circles, a paper may even present a new technique or classroom experience. Roslyn used material produced from a limited number of students to highlight a particular approach to language learning. This particular example was qualitative in nature in that it provided an in-depth look into the performance of a small group of students. Kara's paper, on the other hand, which surveyed a larger number of students was quantitative in nature . She wanted to see on the average what motivated students of Scottish Gaelic to learn the language.
