PanSIG 2010: Call for Presentations
Conference Theme: Learner Perspectives
Date: May 22-23, 2010
Location: Osaka Gakuin University, Suita City, Osaka
This conference is co-sponsored by JALT Kyoto Chapter and the following JALT SIGs:
- College and University Educators (CUE)
- Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL)
- Extensive Reading (ER)
- Framework and Language Portfolio (FLP)
- Global Issues in Language Education (GILE)

Types of proposals
Research in any area of applied linguistics will be welcome. Two types of proposals will be considered:
1. Reports on completed research
2. Works in progress (including completed research design and/or data collection)
Presentations will be 45 minutes in length (including 10 minutes for questions and answers). Preference will be given to those submissions that fit the theme of the conference and/or general interests of the SIG to which the submission is being made.
In particular, presenters that actually incorporate learners (or their voices /images/videos) are highly encouraged to submit!
Proposals
Contents:
(1) a 50-word summary,
(2) a 150-word abstract, and
(3) personal information (name, affiliation, contact details)
E-Mail Formatting
Subject line:
The subject line should read: Submission for (XX) where `XX'
is the abbreviated form of the SIG. i.e. (Submission for SA)
Important notice for CUE members:
The subject line of your email submission should represent which SIG most closely represents the topic or theme of your proposal.
For example, a study about graded readers would read “Submission for ER,” and a study about testing should read “Submission for TEVAL,” even if you are not currently a member of those SIGs.
This formatting is necessary for the abstract vetting process.
Format of the Proposal:
All proposals (paper presentation (45 minutes), workshops (120 minutes) and poster sessions) should be sent as an attached file. Two files types are accepted:
a) Microsoft Word document (.doc)
or
b) Rich Text File (.rtf) file format.
Note: Submissions made in any other form will not be accepted.
Send presentation proposals to:
Deadline:
February 15, 2010

The CUE Forum this year is a workshop-style presentation which will use tables as an example of how authors and editors work together to improve research papers.
The CUE Annual General Meeting will see a changing of the guard, as well as important news about upcoming SIG events in 2010 and 2011.
