Call for Papers (the final [8th] Anniversary Waseda ELF International Workshop and Symposium)

投稿日: 2018/10/28 15:44:14

Belatedly, I invite proposals for paper presentations for this event. Looking back, the Waseda ELF Research Group has organised this international workshop series since the academic year of 2011. The next workshop and symposium (27-28 January 2019) will be an important and commemorative one, all the more so as the last international workshop organised by the Waseda ELF Research Group.

From the next academic year, i.e., 2019, onwards, I suggest that the JACET ELF SIG will take over the role of this group and organise an international workshop annually with members cooperating together.

So it will be JACET ELF SIG International Workshop not Waseda ELF International Workshop.

The theme of the final (8th) Waseda ELF International (anniversary) workshop is ELF and Applied Linguistics (provisional). A detailed schedule for this event has not been finalised yet, but the first day of the event, on which two special lectures and a symposium are planned, will start at around 13:30. The second day features another special lecture, individual paper presentations and a panel, starting at around 10:00.

The confirmed speakers so far are: Univ.-Prof. Barbara Seidlhofer and Hon.-Prof. Henry Widdowson (University of Vienna).

Call for papers

Again, the Waseda ELF Research Group invites proposals for individual presentations for the second day of the 8th Anniversary Waseda International Workshop and Symposium (28 January 2019). Each presentation will be allocated 15 mins + 5 mins for questions. Please provide an Abstract (max 200 words) along with a Title (max 20 words) to outline the focus of your presentation, and submit your abstract in WORD format to welfrg@gmail.com by 26 November 2018. Authors will be notified if their submissions have been accepted or denied by 10 December 2018.

Please also note that accepted presenters will have a publication possibility in Waseda Working Papers in ELF (vol. 8)(to be refereed), and all details will be announced in due course.

We look forward to receiving your abstract proposals and seeing you all during the event. I sincerely hope that this workshop and symposium will provide you with a great opportunity to share your research and ideas.

Sincerely,

Kumiko

Prof. Kumiko Murata & the Waseda ELF Research Group
