International conference, the 8-9 of March in Vitoria-Gasteiz.
This conference will focus on exploring the language learning potential of collaborative dialogue in the learning of a second/foreign language. Research on second language acquisition has shown that collaboration among learners is a crucial source of learning as learners interact to create meaning and co-construct knowledge (Storch, 2016; Swain, 2006). Further research is needed, though, on the impact of speaking during task completion and more target-like language use in writing with a specific group of learners: young learners (8-16). This research would go in line with recent calls within Task-based language teaching (TBLT) a more integrative agenda that considers oral and written modes (Gilabert et al., 2016).
