First International Workshop on Technological
Innovation for Specialized Linguistic Domains:
Theoretical and Methodological Perspectives

TISLID'10 (http://atlas.uned.es/TISLID10)


CALL FOR PAPERS

Over the last decade, research on language teaching/learning has led to an
outstanding proliferation of technological applications. Many of these are
oriented towards restricted professional and academic contexts of use as a
reflection of real world demands for language tuition. The multiple
divergences of such specialized linguistic domains with respect to general
or standard languages require a dedicated perspective for the computer-based
teaching and processing of what are also referred to as LSPs (Languages for
Special Purposes).

TISLID'10 will be hosted by the ATLAS research group (http://atlas.uned.es)
in UNED, Madrid, 21-22 October 2010. This event will include plenary talks,
keynote speeches, workshops, short presentations, posters, and a round table
debate. The following plenary and keynote speakers have confirmed their
participation:
- Dr. Elisabet Arn�, President of AELFE (European Association of Languages
for Specific Purposes)
- Dr. Ana Gimeno, President of EUROCALL (European Association for Computer
Assisted Language Learning)
- Dr. Stephen Bax, Reader in English Language, Learning, Assessment and
Technology, University of Bedfordshire
- Dr. Ricardo Mairal, Professor of English Language and Linguistics, UNED

The organisers welcome the submission of research papers dealing with
technology-supported LSP teaching/learning and processing. We particularly
encourage proposals on new theoretical and methodological foundations for the
development of LSP-based systems. Scholars interested in submitting an article
should send a 500-word abstract in electronic format by April 25th 2010 (see
abstract guidelines: http://atlas.uned.es/TISLID10/Abstract_Guidelines_v2.doc).
Submissions are also welcome for one-hour workshops and for posters. All proposals
will be subject to a double-peer blind review process. Acceptance will be confirmed
by May 25th.

Topics relevant to this workshop include (but are not limited to):
- Critical analyses of different CALL approaches
- Specificity of the processing of specialized linguistic domains vs. general
languages: types of knowledge
- Contrastive studies of different specialized linguistic domains
- AI strategies and techniques in LSP-based processing
- Principles of technology-enhanced methodology for use with sublanguages
- The use of linguistic formalisms and approaches in sublanguage-based CALL
- The use and adaptation of the Common European Framework of Reference
for Languages and other didactic frameworks for LSP
- Software tools and resources for teaching/processing LSPs

All accepted abstracts will be published on CD by UNED. Furthermore, a
subset of the best articles will be published as a separate research
book. The authors in question will be required to submit an extended version
of their paper (2500-3000 words) by July 1st 2010.

A Best Research Paper Award will be given for the most significant
contribution to the workshop in terms of theoretical and/or methodological
advancement in the area of technology-supported LSP teaching/processing.

The Best Research Paper Award will consist of a Certificate and a set of LSP
books and electronic materials from a specialized publisher and it will be
announced before the closing act of the workshop.
