Call for Proposals

We will send out an acceptance/rejection notification on Feb 1, 2023. Please stay tuned!

Emerging triumphantly from the pandemic, we are ready to embrace new landscapes of education and reimagine and redesign teaching for student success. We dedicate ALWC 2023 to sharing how we have been growing and thriving beyond the pandemic, with a specific focus on impactful digital teaching/learning experiences. Additionally, we encourage you to fundamentally rethink your approaches to supporting multilingual learners as stakeholders in your school/university communities. Topics include but not limited to:

• Transformative methods of teaching and new emerging learning styles (usage of digital curriculum, digital books instead of regular library, submission of assignments in a digital manner for students)

• Lessons and insights learned from the pandemic school years

• Strategies to cope with the challenges brought by the pandemic

• Nurturing social/emotional interaction, skills of social behaviors/social emotional support for both students and educators

• Effective models to accelerate instruction and mitigate instructional loss

• Reconstruction of new norms of behaviors

• Welcoming expanding our paradigm beyond TESOL by seeking interdisciplinary collaborations

We invite proposals on original research or pedagogical practices. While ALWC 2023 gives priorities to the proposals within the conference theme, we also welcome and encourage broad participation and a wide range of topics in TESOL. You can submit multiple proposals.

There are three types of proposals that we accept:

• Individual Paper Presentations (Synchronous/concurrent sessions): 30-minute presentations (20-minute talk and 10-minute Q&A). This session is for presentation/demonstration on original research or pedagogical practices related to TESOL and applied linguistics. Please prepare the title (13 words max), abstract (50 words max), and summary (300 words max).

• Workshops (Synchronous/concurrent sessions): 40-minute workshop. Workshop sessions provide participants with "hands on" experience in developing methods and materials, analyzing research data, or solving a specific research/teaching problem. Please prepare the title (13 words max), abstract (50 words max), and summary (300 words max).

• E-poster presentations (Asynchronous session): Poster presentations are intended to feature successful lessons, projects, reports on work in progress, and research studies. Poster presentations will be shared asynchronously. And due to the virtual nature of our poster sessions, we are only accepting Electronic Posters (E-Posters) in PDF format. Printed posters or photographs of printed posters will NOT be accepted. Please prepare the title (13 words max), abstract (100 words max), and your E-poster.
