​symposium on L2 interaction

The CAN-Asia Symposium on L2 Interaction will be held at Pusan National University in Busan, South Korean 10-11 May , 2025.

 

Please submit an abstract (200 to 300 words in English) via this online form.

 

The deadline for submissions is February 10, 2025.

 

Each presentation will be allotted 20 minutes plus 10 minutes for discussion. Presentations will be organized into blocks with a roundtable discussion among the presenters and participants following each block.

 

All presentations should be based on the micro-analysis of recorded interaction in which at least one participant is using a second language. In the past, most presentations have used Conversation Analysis, but we are also open to hearing from researchers using other discourse analytic approaches at the micro end of the scale. Presentations will be in English and will be consecutive, not parallel, so the total number of presentations will be limited.

 

Notification of acceptance will be made by the end of February, 2025.

Papers more likely to be accepted will...

• have a clear focus

Accepted speakers will be asked to submit an extended overview for the online proceedings by March 31, 2025. See the link for further details.
