ICLCLE Call for Proposals

Individual paper proposals provide an opportunity to present original contributions to the research, theory, and practice of language, literacy, and culture from interdisciplinary perspectives. Submissions should demonstrate an awareness of relevant literature and clearly connect the importance of the proposed topic to conference themes.

Upon acceptance, individual papers will be organized into groups of three or four by subject. Individual presenters will have 20 minutes to deliver the content of their individual papers, allowing 10 minutes at the end of all the presentations for questions and answers. Proposals must include the following:

• Name, title, institutional affiliation, and contact information of each presenter
• Title of the proposed presentation
• Brief 50-word summary of the presentation
• Abstract (300 words)
• Indicate any A/V equipment needs for your presentation

Research-to-practice presentations include a research presentation of 15-20 minutes (similar to an individual paper) followed by an interactive discussion with real-world examples. The purpose of this presentation type is to make direct connections between original research findings and application in P-12 and adult classrooms. All materials must be provided by the presenter. Research-to-practice proposals must include:

• Name, title, institutional affiliation, and contact information for each participant
• Title of the proposed presentation
• Brief 50-word summary of the presentation
• An abstract of up to 300 words describing topic, expected audience, outline, and participant activities
• Indicate any A/V equipment needs for your presentation

Presenters spend a short amount of time (no more than 10 minutes) explaining a pedagogical concept, theory, or model; most of the session is devoted to direct, hands-on participation by the attendees. Workshops are organized to address a theme, discussion is informal and interactive, and papers are not presented. All materials needed for the successful completion of the workshop must be provided by the presenter. Interactive workshop proposals must include:

• Name, title, institutional affiliation, and contact information for each participant
• Title of the proposed presentation
• Brief 50-word summary of the workshop
• An abstract of up to 300 words describing topic, expected audience, outline, participant activities, and expected outcomes. In the abstract, please state how much time is required for the workshop (60-90 minutes).
• Indicate any A/V equipment needs for your presentation

Presenters will be allocated a time slot within the main conference venue to model through a poster exhibition. Conference participants will also be able to view displays at their leisure during session breaks, therefore the content of the poster must be self-explanatory. Materials to hang poster presentations will be provided by the conference. Presenters must deliver posters that both fit within a 4’x 6’ area and that are representative of the research proposed. Posters must also contain the name, institutional affiliation, and contact information of the authors. Poster presentation proposals must include:

• Name, title, institutional affiliation, and contact information for each participant
• Title of the proposed poster
• Brief 50-word summary of the presentation
• An abstract of up to 300 words that briefly describes the overall concept and how the visual and verbal narratives will unfold
