We invite submissions for presentations from scholars in all disciplines who are involved in all types of research on second language learning and teaching. In order to focus on issues of concern to scholars and teachers, but also to include as broad a range of interests as possible, we particularly encourage proposals in the following thematic areas:

• Literature and Culture in Language Study
  
• Language Learning for the Heritage Student
  
• Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) and Second-Language-Acquisition Theory
  
• Innovative Classroom Applications of Second-Language-Acquisition Theory
  

DEADLINE
All submissions must be received by February 15th, 2012
