The tenth biennial conference on Current Approaches to Spanish and Portuguese Second Language Phonology (CASPSLaP) will be held at Brigham Young University on February 27–28, 2026. CASPSLaP brings together leading experts in the field of second language acquisition (SLA) of Spanish and Portuguese pronunciation. The conference will highlight the themes of acquisition of dialectal variation and fine-grained phonetic traits, heritage language phonology, and social variation in second language phonological acquisition; however, abstracts are invited for presentations and posters on any topic related to the second language acquisition of the Spanish and Portuguese sound systems. Submissions are also invited for Ignite, a special session focused on pedagogy in second language pronunciation learning (see below).

Ignite Presentation
Ignite Presentation
We also solicit submissions for an interactive pedagogy-focused session in which participants will present brief (10 minute) micro-teaching lessons in a rotating “speed-dating” format. These lessons should showcase a specific pedagogical technique or activity to teach a particular sound, feature, or process, or to help learners overcome a particular problem. Such lessons may be aimed at students enrolled in courses specifically treating pronunciation/phonetics or for learners in general language courses. Submissions should include a detailed lesson plan including: title of lesson, statement of objectives, summary of task(s), description of materials, the activity itself, and later follow up (such as other activities, homework and/or assessments), and any references. The Ignite session will be organized by Dr. Lauren Truman (Brigham Young University). Please submit lesson plans by October 31, 2025.
