Call for Proposals

2019 conference of the American Association for Applied Linguistics (AAAL)

The 2019 conference of the American Association for Applied Linguistics (AAAL) will be held at the Sheraton Atlanta Hotel in Atlanta, GA. Nationally and internationally, the AAAL conference has a reputation as a comprehensive and stimulating conference. Conference participants can look forward to a variety of colloquia, paper, poster, and roundtable sessions, as well as topical and thought-provoking plenary presentations, excellent book exhibits, and plentiful opportunities for networking.

Please read all of the proposal policies:

• Please choose a primary strand for your submission. This is the strand in which your submission will very likely be reviewed and grouped. If applicable, please choose a secondary strand that also characterizes the submission. This will help conference organizers in preparing the conference program, and in some instances, balancing size and coherence of strands. You must choose a primary strand; selection of a secondary strand is optional (but recommended).
• Individuals may submit a maximum of one abstract as first author, whether a paper (including papers presented in a colloquium), a poster, or a roundtable session. This means that an individual can only appear once as a first author on the program. First authors are expected to present the research bearing their name, but all authors are encouraged to share in the presentation of co-authored research.
• An individual may take on one additional role as a colloquium organizer or discussant. For papers or posters, an individual may also appear as a co-author/co-presenter of another paper, provided they are not first author.
• All proposals (for individual papers, posters, roundtable sessions, and colloquia) must represent original and unpublished work that is not yet available to the AAAL membership (with the exception of material from publications in press).
• Proposals for all presentation formats will be double-blind peer reviewed. Please ensure that any reference made to your previous work within the proposal does not include self-reference information that clearly identifies you or one of your co-authors. Avoid, for example, statements such as "In a previous study, we (YOUR NAME, date)". Any proposal that does not respect the blind review format will be rejected.
• Individuals who will not be attending the conference are discouraged from submitting proposals. Conference attendees highly value the discussion period with all authors at the conclusion of conference sessions. Presenters who know that they cannot attend the conference are asked to withdraw their proposals as soon as possible to give another presenter a place on the program. If unforeseen circumstances at the last minute dictate that a presenter cannot attend the conference, alternative arrangements will be made to the extent possible.
• The conference registration of the first author signifies that the proposal will be presented on the day and time assigned by the conference program committee. AAAL will not respond to or consider requests for a specific time slot.
