Bridging the Gap Between SLA Research and Pedagogy:
Explicit/Implicit Approaches

44th Annual Convention, Northeast Modern Language Association (NeMLA) March 21-24, 2013
Boston, Massachusetts
Host Institution: Tufts University

This panel seeks to bridge the gap between research and pedagogy by informing about recent findings on the effect of different degrees of explicitness on language learning and about their pedagogical implications. What approach should we use to teach grammar? What type of feedback works best in the short/long run? Does the difficulty of the form play a role on the effectiveness of implicit/explicit treatments? What role do individual differences play on the effectiveness of these treatments? Please send 250-500 word abstracts to Beatriz Lado, beatriz.lado@lehman.cuny.edu Chair: Beatriz Lado Area: Pedagogy

Deadline: September 30, 2012
Please include with your abstract:

A/V requirements (if any; $10 handling fee with registration)

The 2013 NeMLA convention continues the Association's tradition of sharing innovative scholarship in an engaging and generative location. The 44th annual event will be held in historic Boston, Massachusetts, a city known for its national and maritime history, academic facilities and collections, vibrant art, theatre, and food scenes, and blend of architecture. The Convention, located centrally near Boston Commons and the Theatre District at the Hyatt Regency, will include keynote and guest speakers, literary readings, film screenings, tours and workshops.

Interested participants may submit abstracts to more than one NeMLA session; however, panelists can only present one paper (panel or seminar). Convention participants may present a paper at a panel and also present at a creative session or participate in a roundtable. http://www.nemla.org/convention/2013/cfp.html
