THEORY CONSTRUCTION AND METHODOLOGY
IN SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION RESEARCH

October 4-6, 1991

Plenary Speakers: Kevin Gregg; Patsy Lightbown; Michael Long;
John Schumann

Call for papers (Deadline April 1, 1991)The theme for the conference is
theory construction and methodology in SLA. We are interested in
theory-driven data-based studies; these studies should comment
explicitly on some of the following issues:
1. Justification for methodology
2. What should a theory of SLA consist of?
3. How can we evaluate theories of SLA
4. Are the many SLA theories rivals or complementary
5. What kinds of evidence are our current methodologies capable of
establishing?
6. How strong is the evidence for SLA generalizations?

Please submit 3 copies of a one-page abstract (without name)and a 3"x5"
