All topics in the field of second language acquisition from all theoretical perspectives will be considered. Priority will be given to abstracts that discuss the theoretical implications of the SLA research they report on. All submissions will be reviewed anonymously and evaluated in terms of originality, clarity, and significance of findings and conclusions.

INDIVIDUAL PAPERS will be allotted 30 minutes (20 minutes plus 10 minutes for discussion). POSTERS are intended as a format for reports of work in progress.
Following the EUROSLA association policy, EUROSLA 2006 will be a multilingual conference: presentation in any European language is acceptable. However, abstracts must be written in English.
