The proceedings of the conference takes the form of a special issue of SiSAL Journal (Studies in Self-Access Learning Journal) published in March, 2012. The theme of the issue is “Advising for language learner autonomy”.
As so many suitable papers were submitted, a second publication will be be published in May, 2012. This will be an e-book edited by Christian Ludwig and Jo Mynard published by IATEFL.
Further papers will also be appearing in subsequent issues of SiSAL Journal.
Hi,
I’m presenting at the conference. Looking at the author guidelines, you have 7articles’ of 3,500 and ‘conference reports’ of 2,000 words – which category would you like presenters to aim for when submiting a paper for the proceedings?

Hi John,
Thanks for your comment! I’m looking forward to seeing you at the conference!
Presenters can choose to submit a paper for any of the SiSAL categories. For example, if you wanted to submit a full paper – you could submit a 3500 word article. Equally, you could submit a shorter “work in progress” or “summary” piece. People attending the conference (even if they didn’t present) are eligible to submit a paper for the “conference reports” section.
I have updated the text on this page to (hopefully) make this clearer.
Best wishes,
Jo
