Tamkang International Conference on Second Language Writing
Tamkang International Conference on Second Language Writing
Call for Abstracts:
Writing as one of the fundamental language skills has traditionally posed a variety of challenges for second language teachers and learners. Once the writing skill is placed within particular contexts, these challenges multiply.
These range from addressing writing skills within exam-driven traditional curricula to navigating the proliferation of technologies, to creating meaningful contexts for the learning of writing and managing the workload created for teachers when students write and expect feedback.
This conference is intended as a forum for addressing the full range of pedagogical and research issues on second language writing. Abstracts are invited for papers on any aspects of foreign or second language writing learning and pedagogy.
Possible topics include (but are not limited to) the following:
Cognitive perspectives in L2 writing
Learning Strategies
Critical Literacy
Identity in Literacy Instruction
L2 writing pedagogy
Reading/writing connection
CMC in literacy instruction
Academic writing
Foreign language writing within school curricula
Writing instruction integrating other language skills
Second language writing integrated with other content areas (content-based instruction and writing across the curriculum, for example)
Emerging literacies and issues of register (including technology-enabled influences on literacies and register exerted by the proliferation of e-mail, mobile devices and messaging, and the rise of the blog)
Issues of feedback on student writing
Research issues in writing pedagogy
Voice and issues of empowerment
Writing within standardized/institutional exam systems: (TOEFL, GEPT, etc.)
Writing and technology
The composing process
