The ALL Symposium will focus on combining web collaboration and pedagogic applications of corpora in order to facilitate and strengthen authentication in language learning and teaching. Emphasis is thus on both content and communication-based learning activities and on how computer mediated communication (CMC) and corpus methodologies can be pedagogically integrated for generating innovative synergies. Promising contexts of pedagogic application include in particular content and language integrated learning (CLIL) and language learning for intercultural communication.

Our aim is to take stock of the current state of affairs in corpus and/or CMC-based language learning and teaching, to explore integrative pedagogic concepts and tasks, and to propose new research perspectives. Special attention will be given to the needs and purposes of 'young' researchers in the field.

We welcome proposals for 20-minute paper presentations (plus 20 minutes discussion) or for posters focusing on using corpora and/or CMC to foster authentication in content and communication-based language learning and teaching.

Please submit a 300 word abstract (including a title) by 22 November 2010. Abstract submission is through the ALL Symposium website.
