TALGS Conference

TALGS 2024 – TESOL & Applied Linguistics Graduate Student Conference

Sponsored by Greensboro College’s Department of English and East Carolina University’s Department of English

The TESOL / Applied Linguistics Graduate Students (TALGS) Conference is an academic event organized by Linguistics and TESOL graduate students and faculty at East Carolina University and Greensboro College. We at TALGS aim to provide a serious but relaxed environment for you, our fellow graduate students and professionals working in TESL/TEFL/FL and other applied linguistics fields, to present your work, receive feedback, and network with others. The TALGS Conference exists to provide graduate students as well as TESOL and other Foreign Language professionals (including ESOL, TESL, EFL, ESL, TEFL, Spanish, French, German, DLI, and more) a forum to showcase your research and successful teaching practices and to learn from those of others.

Call for Proposals

We welcome cross-disciplinary proposals with relevance to language use, language learning and/or teaching from a variety of fields, including, for example, English studies, education, discourse studies, foreign languages, anthropology, communications, sociolinguistics, psychology, and sociology. Proposals reporting on action research (inside and outside the classroom), works in progress, submissions based on successful term projects, pilot research, as well as proposals for discussion sessions, workshops, and posters are welcomed. Presentations requiring computer facilities can be accommodated. Multiple proposals will be considered.
