Call for Papers:

You are invited to submit abstracts for papers and posters on any domain and subdomain of temporality in SLA research. Whilst all submissions on the topic will be considered, particularly welcome are contributions with an emphasis on:

- Futurity and modality in L2
- Pedagogical applications of TAML2 research findings
- L2-modulated reorganisation of temporal concepts
- Theory building.

Abstract Submission Policy:

Paper and poster proposals should not have been previously published. More than one abstract per author can be submitted. All submissions will be reviewed anonymously by the scientific committee and evaluated in terms of rigour, clarity and significance of the contribution, as well as its relevance to research on L2 temporality. Abstracts should not exceed 300 words (excluding title and optional references).

Individual Papers and Posters:

Papers will be allocated 20 minutes for presentation plus 10 minutes for discussion. The poster session will last 90 minutes. In order to foster interaction, the poster session will not overlap with paper presentations.

Publication of Papers:

The organisers envisage a selection of papers presented at TAML2 to be published in the journal International Review of Applied Linguistics in Language Teaching (IRAL) as a special issue. The call for publication will follow shortly after the conference.
