Centre for Intercultural Language Studies (CILS)
9th Annual Symposium
“Reflecting on Experiential learning: What lies beyond the language classroom?” 

Friday, May 3, 2013
8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.
The University of British Columbia (Venue TBA)

CALL FOR PROPOSALS

We are accepting submissions for presentations (20 minutes) followed by discussion (10 minutes) on topics related to language education. The theme for this year, “Reflecting on Experiential learning: What lies beyond the language classroom?” is intentionally broadly-stated so as to provide a forum where multiple perspectives from across a spectrum of issues can be shared and discussed.

However, please note that submissions on any aspects of second/foreign language research, teaching, and learning are also warmly welcome.  We also encourage presentations in languages other than English (the presenter needs to submit an abstract in both English and the presenting language). Reports on small/large-scale research projects, research proposals, preliminary results of ongoing work, teaching workshops, as well as personal reflections are all welcome.

Publishing Opportunity: Authors of accepted abstracts will have the opportunity to submit a revised version of their paper for consideration for publication as Conference Proceedings in the CILS website. Detailed description of selection criteria and additional information will be distributed later.

Please see the attached document for detailed information. Please submit your proposal (or any questions you may have) by February 28th, 2013 to Rachel Wang at rachel.wang@ubc.ca
