The 15th biennial Teaching and Language Corpora (TaLC) will take place in the week of 13–16 July 2022, hosted at the University of Limerick campus (www.ul.ie). Teaching and Language Corpora is a biennial conference that has been running since 1992 and has previously been hosted by the University of Cambridge, Justus Liebig University Giessen, and Lancaster University. Further information can be found on our website and social media (search #TaLC2022 on Twitter).

Plenary Speakers 

– Michael McCarthy (University of Nottingham (Emeritus))
– Fanny Meunier (UC Louvain)
– Shelley Staples (University of Arizona)
– Henry Tyne (University of Perpignan)

Call for Papers:

We invite proposals across the categories: full papers and posters. All proposals will be peer-reviewed by the conference programme committee. Papers related to the use of corpora for the learning of any language are welcome.

Topics that are within the scope of TaLC include, but are not necessarily limited to, corpus-based approaches to language learning, teaching and assessment in the following areas:
- Teaching first and second languages (including data-driven learning materials and student-centred linguistic investigation)

- Research on second language acquisition and learner corpus research

- Teaching languages for specific purposes, professional purposes, workplaces, business etc
- Using corpora across the curriculum (including all pedagogic contexts such as further, professional and other types of education)
- Teaching interpreting and translation
- Teaching literature, culture and history
- Teaching intercultural communication
- Developing pedagogic grammars and learner dictionaries
- Developing corpora/tools/resources for language learning and teaching
- Teacher education
- Teaching of corpus methods to students and researchers in linguistics (and other areas of inquiry)
- Mobile language learning/teaching and corpora.

Paper Presentations

Abstract submissions for paper presentations will be 400-500 words (not counting the reference list, which should be limited to a maximum of 5 items, if included). Paper presentations will consist of a 20-minute talk followed by 5 minutes for questions[1]. Papers reporting on empirical research should represent either completed work or work in progress where some results can be reported. Presentations that take the form of a software demonstration are also welcome.

Posters

Abstract submissions for poster presentations will be 300-400 words (not counting references, which should be limited to a maximum of 5 items, if included). Generally, we suggest submitting an abstract for a poster rather than a paper presentation for (a) reports on research in its very early phases with no intermediate or final results to report or (b) reports on new corpus data resources.

Workshops

Pre-conference workshops will take place on 13th July. If you are interested in organising one of the workshops, please contact the organisers with a brief proposal and proposed timeline (morning, afternoon or all-day workshop), before 31st March, 2022. Once the conference website indicates that the maximum number of workshops has been reached, no further proposals can be accommodated. Workshops should have a very practical pedagogic focus and might include software demonstrations and engagements, the sharing of corpus-based classroom resources, the application of corpus-based designed principles to the curriculum etc.
