CALL FOR PAPERS
LANGSCAPE Doctoral Seminar
Thursday 7 July 2016: 1.00 pm – 7.00 pm
Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin
Unter den Linden 6
10099 Berlin
Submission deadline: 8 May 2016
The LANGSCAPE Doctoral Seminar invites doctoral students and candidates working on multilingualism, language teaching and learning, language teachers’ education and professional development to present and share their work in a collaborative way.
When submitting a proposal you may choose between two basic formats: an oral presentation or a workshop format. Please choose the format that you think will best meet your expectations regarding the discussion of your research. Submissions for both formats will have to comply with the requirements described below:
- Each oral presentation should last no longer than 20 minutes. Oral presentations will be gathered in panels of two to three contributions. Each panel will run for 90 minutes allowing for discussion of each presentation. Participants who will choose an oral presentation will focus on theoretical, methodological, general aspects of their work and/or the discussion of potential results of their research. Oral presentations should aim at highlighting key aspects of the Ph.D. project in a concise way.
- Workshop sessions will run for up to 60 minutes. Two to three participants may work together to present specific aspects of their work. Proposals for this format will have to take into account that other participants will join the discussion in Berlin. The workshops are expected to combine a collaborative perspective with a “hands-on” approach. (Possible themes include: data discussion sessions, discussion of methodology etc.)
We invite proposals with a maximum length of 500 words. Abstracts should be submitted at https://sites.google.com/site/langdocsember2016/ by 8 May 2016. For any further questions concerning the doctoral seminar, please, contact jose.aguilarrio[at]univ-paris3.fr.
The Doctoral Seminar will be followed by the LANGSCAPE VUM Symposium at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin between the 8th and 9th July 2016. Participants of the Doctoral Seminar are invited to stay for the Symposium. More detailed information will be forthcoming.
