Tense, Aspect and Modality in L2

Activity: Participating in or organising an event types › Participation in conference

Description

The acquisition and learning of Tense, Aspect and Modality (TAM) representations in an additional language is one of the most challenging tasks for second language learners.

TAML2 brings together researchers, coming from many different countries, working on different aspects of the acquisition, learning and teaching of TAM in second languages.

The conference responds to a widely recognised need for an updated knowledge base and innovative methodological tools in the study of temporal and modal representations in a second language (L2) or additional language. It aims to complement previous research perspectives by providing a dynamic exploration of recent, up-to-date issues in contemporary research.

We expect that the outcome of this conference will allow us to improve our vision of:
- linguistic theory
- second language learning
- second language acquisition (SLA)
- language teaching
- the study of heritage languages

We will discuss both theoretical and pedagogical implications of the research on acquisition and learning of TAM.

Our goal is to gain insight into the acquisition and learning of TAM representations in a second or additional language. The conference will also allow us to strengthen networks of scholars working on SLA from different perspectives.

All presenters will be invited to submit their work for the selected proceedings of the conference, which will be published as a special issue by an international journal.
