SUMMARY:Second Language Multimodal Literacies (L2ML) Symposium
DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, studies of multimodal communication and composition from education\, literacy studies\, and applied linguistics have fueled intense discussions about the place of non-verbal modes in the historically lingua-centric field of second language teaching and learning. These conversations and the research that supports them have been motivated by innovations in digital technologies\, which encourage and enable the ready use of images\, videos\, and sounds in everyday acts of communication (e.g.\, Lankshear & Knobel\, 2006; Lotherington & Jenson\, 2011); but interest in second language multimodal literacies has also found theoretical buttressing in recent work in applied linguistics where language is conceptualized within a broader semiotic repertoire for meaning making (e.g.\, Busch\, 2012; Li\, 2017). Increasingly\, there is a shared understanding that “In a profound sense\, all meaning-making is multimodal” (New London Group\, 1996\, p. 81). However\, there continues to be a need for research on the multimodal practices of multilingual speakers\, and for the development of research-based practices for educators to integrate and assess multimodality into their language classes. \nBuilding on the Digital Literacies Project and the associated Second Language Digital Literacies Symposium (L2DL) hosted by the Center for Educational Resources in Culture\, Language and Literacy (CERCLL)\, the L2ML symposium will bring together educators\, practitioners\, and researchers\, who share common interests in exploring the role of multimodality in contexts of second or multiple language and culture learning. This free\, two-day virtual event will include a series of digital presentations and discussions\, including three invited talks by experts in the fields of multimodal language and literacy education. The symposium will culminate in a panel discussion\, where participants will consider future directions for multimodal scholarship and pedagogical practice in second language and multilingualism studies. \n  \nInvited speakers include: \n\nDr. Denise Newfield (University of the Witwatersrand\, South Africa)\n\nPresentation title: Poetry\, Performance and Making in Second Language Learning\n\n\nDr. Ana Oskoz (University of Maryland Baltimore County\, USA)\n\nPresentation title: Second Language Digital Literacies in a Multilingual\, Multimodal World\n\n\nDr. Jennifer Rowsell (University of Sheffield\, United Kingdom)\n\nPresentation title: The Comfort of Screens: Living and Learning with Multiple Languages on Screens\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:44th Groupe d'Etude et de Recherche en Anglais de Spécialité (GERAS) Conference: Cultures\, memories and legacies in specialized English
DESCRIPTION:The 44th international GERAS colloquium\, organized at ENS Paris-Saclay on March 23\, 24 and 25\, 2023\, will focus on cultures\, memories\, and legacies in specialized English. \nThe specialization of the English language can be thought of as a phenomenon that is at once cultural\, memorial and heritage: using specialized varieties of English is in fact showing one’s adherence to certain specific cultural patterns\, it is displaying one’s belonging to professional or disciplinary discursive communities whose traditions oblige you\, it is to reproduce in the language the legacies that frame and guide our choices. Gradually mastering the codes and conventions of these specialized varieties of English\, through formal or informal learning\, means entering a culture specific to specialized communities \, embracing a memory\, extending and bringing to life linguistic and behavioral legacies. By the notion of habitus\, Pierre Bourdieu (1980: 91) has in fact taught us that we are constantly subject to the influence of a “collective memory reproducing in the successors the achievements of the predecessors”. Thus\, the observable traces of cultures\, memories and heritages in the English language reflect the fact that specialization is above all a community and collective phenomenon \, which brings together certain human communities\, formed around particular social functions\, around convergent language choices.

SUMMARY:Spanish for Specific Purposes Graduate Assistantship Positions  Fall 2023-Spring 2025- Colorado State University
DESCRIPTION:Spanish for Specific Purposes Graduate Assistantship Positions \nApplicants must apply to and be accepted by the Spanish MA program at CSU. \nFor full consideration\, applications must be received by March 15\, 2023. \nFor any questions about this SSP Graduate Assistantship opportunity\, please email Shannon Zeller at email hidden; JavaScript is required. For general questions about our graduate program\, please visit http://languages.colostate.edu/graduate-program/. And to start your application\, visit https://graduateschool.colostate.edu/apply/  \nFall 2023-Spring 2025 \nFaculty at Colorado State University’s Languages\, Literatures and Cultures Department have received funding to create\, deliver and enhance Spanish for Specific Purposes (SSP) curriculum in the area of Spanish for Veterinarians. This effort aims to address the language gap between English speaking veterinary professionals and Limited English Proficient (LEP) Spanish speaking companion animal owners and livestock animal caretakers living within the United States. The research team dedicated to this project has conducted an extensive Language Needs Analysis (LNA) in the domain and has outlined an exciting curricular program that will begin its pilot delivery to doctoral students enrolled in CSU’s College of Veterinary Medicine in the Fall of 2023. \nPetSmart Charities\, the project funders\, support the onboarding of two Graduate Assistants to aid in this unique effort to bridge the Spanish/English language gap in veterinary medicine and increase access to veterinary care for LEP Spanish speaking pet owners. These assistants will have the opportunity to fully engage in pioneering efforts in Languages for Specific Purposes (LSP) curricular design\, delivery\, and assessment under the mentorship of experienced faculty who have a strong interest in developing evidence-based curricula addressing areas that rely on a Spanish-speaking workforce and/or interact with Spanish-speaking community members within the United States. \nThe individuals hired for these assistantships will have the opportunity to collaborate in curricular design based on LNA findings\, design Task Based Language Teaching learning materials and performative assessments\, engage in classroom-based research to assess student learning outcomes and create curricular enhancements based on student performance in the Spanish for the Veterinarian Professional language program.

SUMMARY:Webinar with Silke Riegler | “Engaging presentations – Check!“
DESCRIPTION:Abstract \nWhy are so many presentations soporific rather than stunning? \nWhy do most presentations leave the audience disappointed while the presenter feels dispirited by the listeners’ feedback? The key to an engaging presentation lies in meticulous preparation! In my talk\, I will present an easy to follow checklist that supports your business clients in the preparation stage of their presentations. It reflects a pragmatic 9-step process that ensures your clients’ success. \nBio \nSilke Riegler is a business communications and intercultural trainer based in Germany. An eclectic mix of students gives her the possibility to draw on her business experience and training\, as well as on her passion for the English language and culture.

SUMMARY:Call for Papers: Joint AELFE-LSPPC International Conference
DESCRIPTION:This joint international conference brings together the 21st annual conference of the European Association of Languages for Specific Purposes (AELFE2023) and the 7th Conference of the Asia-Pacific LSP & Professional Communication Association (LSPPC7). Both associations promote the use of languages for specific purposes and professional communication. The main goal of this joint conference is to create a meeting point for scholars (researchers and practitioners) and allow them to discuss and exchange their views on the conference theme with participants from different world regions and do so from multi- and inter-disciplinary perspectives. \nThe Association’s 2023 conference (LSPPC7) will be organized by the University of Zaragoza\, Spain as a joint conference with the European Association of Languages for Specific Purposes (AELFE). Here are a few specifics (much more information is available on the conference website: https://aelfe-lsppcconference2023.com/): \n\nDates: June 28-30\, 2023\nVenue: Zaragoza\, Spain\nDeadline for abstracts: January 15\, 2023\n\nCall for papers \nIn a networked era\, we are witnessing rapidly changing\, web-mediated communication practices involving a variety of communicative purposes\, audiences\, modes and media. Emerging trends in disciplinary knowledge communication such as the Open Science paradigm attest to this fact. Academic and professional communication today thus poses important theoretical\, methodological and pedagogical challenges that need addressing. Some of the questions that we aim to address are: What is the role of LSP teaching and research in an increasingly interconnected world? What methods and frameworks are suitable to investigate multilingual and multimodal communication online? How can practitioners support emerging digital communication needs in the professions? How can they best prepare future graduates and professionals to disseminate their work in digital environments?\, and how can LSP research and practice help them develop the necessary literacies (academic\, plurilingual and digital literacies)? \nWe have a terrific line-up of plenary and featured speakers\, including: \n\nChristine B. Feak (University of Michigan\, US)\nEric Friginal (The Hong Kong Polytechnic University)\nLaura M. Muresan (Bucharest University of Economic Studies\, Romania)\nChristine Tardy (Northern Arizona University\, US)\nVijay Bhatia (The Chinese University of Hong Kong)\nJohn Swales (University of Michigan\, US)\n\nThis joint international conference brings together the 21st annual conference of the European Association of Languages for Specific Purposes (AELFE2023) and the 7th Conference of the Asia-Pacific LSP & Professional Communication Association (LSPPC7).

SUMMARY:Call for Papers - 44th Groupe d'Etude et de Recherche en Anglais de Spécialité (GERAS) Conference
DESCRIPTION:The 44th international GERAS colloquium\, organized at ENS Paris-Saclay on March 23\, 24 and 25\, 2023\, will focus on culture\, memories\, and legacies in specialized English. \nSend communication proposals to email hidden; JavaScript is required before December 16\, 2022. \nWord or Open Office format desired. \nNotifications of acceptance will be sent to authors before January 27\, 2023. \n\nWe welcome communication proposals in the form of abstracts (300 to 600 words) relating\, for example\, to the themes indicated below: \n\nEnglish-speaking backgrounds and specialist areas\n\nHow to characterize the cultures – considered as complex systems of values\, norms and representations ( Cuche 2004) – of English-speaking circles and specialized fields? Are these cultures at the origin of specific social or linguistic styles? What are the most appropriate conceptual frameworks to describe these cultural phenomena in specialized English? What are the inner workings of the interaction between language\, culture and memory in specialized English?\nAre English-speaking specialist circles and domains endowed with “collective memories”\, in the sense understood by the great sociologist Maurice Halbwachs in his work Les cadre sociale de la mémoire (1925)? What would be the language manifestations of these memories in specialized texts and discourses\, and how to grasp them as a scientific object in specialized English?\nAre ethnographic approaches in specialized English (Wozniak 2019) able to grasp the constituent elements and symbolic systems of human groups assembled around a common social function \, namely their “common ancestry\, real or supposed\, [the ] memories of a shared historical past\, [their] cultural focus on one or more symbolic elements defined as the embodiment of their collectivity” (Schermerhorn 1970: 12)?\n\n\nDiscourse Analysis\, Specialized Genres\, Professional Substrate Fiction (FASP )\n\nWhat would be the contours and lineaments of cultural and memorial elements in specialized discourses and genres? How do they manifest themselves concretely in the language\, style and rhetorical organization of the texts? How do they apply\, with a more or less pronounced degree of constraint\, older models\, potentially constituted as stylistic legacies?\nAre the notions of “discursive memory” (Courtine 1981)\, “interdiscursive memory” (Moirand 1999\, 2007) or even “prediscourse” (Paveau 2006\, 2008) relevant for characterizing specialized discourses and genres?\nWith regard to specialized genres\, should we pose with Jean Paul Bronckart (2004: 82) the hypothesis of the “pre-existence of genres of texts elaborated by previous generations\, organized in a repertoire of models”\, echoing the generic schemata what was John Swales already talking about in his book Gender Analysis (1990)? How do specialized discourse genres update earlier or preformulated generic conventions? In the end\, do genres only reproduce pre-established cultural and memory patterns\, or are there within them mechanisms for innovation and differentiation  ? How can the diachronic study of discourse genres shed light on the memory aspects and mechanisms they conceal?\nBy what ways and means does fiction with a professional substrate (FASP) provide access to the cultures\, memories and legacies of specialized English-speaking communities  ? What narrative and symbolic mechanisms does she use to represent them? In addition to the language and practices of specialized circles\, does the FASP also endeavor to stage specialized cultural or memorial substrates?\n\n\nDidactics and LANSAD sector\n\nIn language teaching\, we often speak of the teaching of a “language-culture”\, thus marking the inseparable nature of the language system and the culture to which it is invariably linked. How would the cultural dimension be essential in the LANSAD sector? What would be the strategies for teaching or making people discover the cultures of specialized circles? Sandrine Chapon (2011) had shown that English-language legal FASPs are part of the cultural landscape of French-speaking students\, and that their use as a teaching aid can facilitate access to the target culture of English-speaking legal circles. Would it be possible to extend and systematize this type of approach?Are there specialized professional cultures that are already or could be the subject of relevant and effective didactic training within the LANSAD sector  ?\nAre there\, within the LANSAD sector in France\, as pointed out by Gail Taillefer (2007)\, specific cultural and memorial specificities? In what way are they forces of progress\, or do they hinder certain advances that would be necessary? Are they challenges or opportunities?\nWhat is the place of memory mechanisms in the teaching and learning of specialized languages? Is it possible to model them and draw up an epistemologically credible portrait of them\, as Jean-Paul Narcy-Combes (2006) tried to do by describing two modes of memory functioning in language production and in learning tasks?\nThe didactics of languages ​​and cultures has been traversed since the beginning of the 20th century by multiple methodological currents (direct or audio-oral methods\, then communicative and co-actional approaches in the more recent period\, for example) . A didactics of the language that would be specifically anchored in specialized English\, a perspective traced by Cédric Sarré and Shona Whyte (2016 )\, should it be part of\, or perhaps free itself from\, these major paradigms of teaching and learning? learning  ? What can we learn from the heritage of these schools of thought in language teaching? Is a right of inventory vis-à-vis them currently possible in French higher education?\n\n\nSpecialized Corpora\, Corpus Linguistics\n\n How can corpus linguistics detect and characterize the cultural and memory aspects of specialized corpora? Does the often ineffable and immaterial nature of cultures\, memories and heritages within specialized English-speaking communities hinder textometric approaches that would make it possible to trace their contours? Within specialized corpora\, what would be the possible distinctive marks of cultures and memories?\n\n\nTranslation studies and specialized translation\n\nHow does the translation of texts\, especially specialized documents\, imply a cultural transfer? Jacqueline Guillemin-Flescher (1994) had indicated that translators are often led to transfer from one national culture to another a form of spirit of the language\, that is to say a “collective stylistic” constituted around behaviors common cultures. In legal translation\, Claude Bocquet (2008) had also underlined the importance of cultural parameters. How is taking into account cultural and memorial dimensions relevant for translating specialized texts  ?\nTools for Taylorizing pragmatic and specialized translation\, “translation memories” symbolize the fact that translating often means activating statements that already exist in human communities to describe certain themes or label certain phenomena. Does the advent of artificial intelligences in translation\, and the displacement that these bring about in the professional positioning of translators (more and more revisers of machine translations)\, profoundly modify the place of discursive\, terminological and phraseological memory in translation ?\nDoes the history of pragmatic and specialized translation reveal particular cultures and traditions in the way of translating? How are today’s translators the repositories of older methodological and epistemological heritages? Are these legacies an unsurpassable horizon\, a pitfall or an asset?\n\n\nHistory and epistemology of research in specialized English\n\n\n\nAt a time when the GERAS community is gradually moving towards its 50th anniversary\, would it be relevant to exercise a right of inventory on the memory and legacies of the work of the French School of English? specialty? What retrospective look can we take on the scientific culture that we have forged together over time? How are we the guardians and heirs of the great voices and figures that have marked our history\, and built the epistemological frameworks that govern our reflections today?

SUMMARY:Webinar with Assoc. Prof. Esa Christine Hartmann | Intercultural Encounters in Translingual Picture Books: Literary and Pedagogical Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:Abstract \nBe it linguistic mediation\, metalinguistic awareness or a pedagogy of multiliteracies – many pedagogical aspects of intercultural learning in multilingual contexts of language acquisition can be explored through children’s literature and\, more specifically\, through multilingual picture books. \nThis webinar focuses on two translingual picture books that alternate between French and German throughout the narration and address up-to-date socio-political topics\, such as migration and global warming: Der Schrei. Le loup migrant by P. Seiler (German translation by S. Maurer) (2019) and Le voyage des ours polaires. Die Reise der Eisbären by T. Père and R. Panchyshyn (French and German translation by S. Maurer) (2017). \nDue to their high aesthetic and cultural complexity\,  translingual picture books represent an inspiring text type for language teaching and learning at all levels and are suitable for young emergent bilinguals as well as adult additional language learners who take an interest in multilingual literature. This text type is also highly interesting for teachers\, educators\, professors\, and parents in any bilingual or multilingual context. \nThe literary and pedagogical analysis of these works of art allows us to discuss how translingual picture books can foster integrated\, multimodal\, and translingual learning as well as the development of biliteracy and intercultural competence. \nBio \nDr Esa Christine Hartmann is an associate professor of German\, Comparative Literature\, and Bilingual Education at the University of Strasbourg (France) and a member of the research group on Multilingualism\, Translation and Creation of the ITEM (Institut des Textes et Manuscrits Modernes) at CNRS (Centre National de Recherche Scientifique\, Paris). Her main research interests include multilingual picture books\, multilingual writing\, genetic translation studies\, collaborative translation\, poetics\, and stylistics.

SUMMARY:Webinar with Dr. Ursula Stickler | After COVID: How Online Language Teaching Has Changed the Profession
DESCRIPTION:Abstract  \nEven before the enforced move to online teaching many language professionals were using digital tools and online communication in their work and their research (Shi & Stickler\, 2019). Due to COVID restrictions many teachers were forced into what Hodges and colleagues (2020) called Emergency Remote Teaching (ERT). This change in practice has had an impact on language teachers’ views of their own profession. Looking beyond the immediately obvious changes such as increased confidence in digital skills\, realisation of a change in role\, it has also brought home to many teachers that online communication is fundamentally different from face-to-face or classroom-based teaching. This implies a need for a change in epistemology\, a recognition that the way we “know” is changing in the absence of physical proximity. \nThis talk will present views of language teachers about the future of their profession (Stickler\, 2022)\, and some ideas about the change in an epistemological stance needed for successful online language teaching. \nHodges\, C.
