The 12^th annual PSLLT Conference seeks proposals for L2 pronunciation for all second languages and contexts, but especially for papers that help elucidate variation in learner needs and outcomes across diverse contexts. Together, we are hoping conference papers will reveal the extent to which currently dominant approaches to pronunciation apply across contexts and how lessons from less common contexts of learning may inform these dominant paradigms. Such papers may be related to:

Pronunciation learning and teaching in second language contexts, including heritage and indigenous language contexts
Pronunciation learning and teaching in foreign language contexts
Pronunciation learning and teaching in English as a Lingua Franca contexts
Pronunciation learning and teaching in the classroom, either as a stand-alone class or integrated into the larger curriculum
Pronunciation in professional contexts (e.g., law, medicine, educational settings)
Pronunciation learning in naturalistic settings, absent explicit instruction
Pronunciation learning and teaching in laboratory settings
Pronunciation learning with technology

The Pronunciation in Second Language Learning and Teaching Conference invites proposals in English or French for three main types of presentations: Oral presentations (20 minutes + 5 minutes for questions), posters (a dedicated 90-minute poster presentation session), and Teaching Tips (7-minute, evidence-based pedagogical approaches to teaching pronunciation). The Call for proposals is now open and closes on April 1, 2020. Please keep proposal abstracts to a maximum of 300 words. Notifications of acceptance will be made by early May, 2020.
