A student-planned interdisciplinary roundtable conference for all SLAT community members, and students and faculty from other universities
The Second Language Acquisition and Teaching Student Association (SLATSA) cordially invites your participation in the 24th SLAT Interdisciplinary Roundtable at the University of Arizona on February 7 and 8, 2025. The Roundtable will be held fully in-person.
The Roundtable is an annual conference organized by and for graduate students and faculty with interests in the linguistics, cognitive, instructional, and socio-cultural dimensions of L2 learning. We also seek projects that demonstrate collaborative research between graduate students and faculty.
The theme of the 2025 SLAT Interdisciplinary Roundtable is “Interdisciplinarity in Language Research, Leadership, and Pedagogical Practices.” We invite proposals that explore diverse topics at the intersection of language education and research, including but not limited to pedagogy, language program administration and leadership, program evaluation, SLA theory and research, curriculum design, teacher education, and the integration of technology in language teaching and learning.
The extended deadline for submissions is Tuesday, December 3, 2024.

- Project in Progress (5-7 min. presentation: individual presentation + Q&A): A brief presentation of a research project in progress, followed by small group discussions of individual projects. Presenters may be at any stage of the research process and looking for feedback or guidance for future directions.
