Reflections on the 7th Annual TALGS Conference

The 7^th Annual TESOL/Applied Linguistics Graduate Students (TALGS) Conference, held at East Carolina University on Saturday, February 20, 2010, welcomed a number of highly talented graduate students and professionals who offered unique and progressive ideas about TESOL and other facets of applied linguistics. Close to a 100 presenters and attendees from around the world shared their opinions and experiences during presentations, discussion periods, and during coffee and meal breaks. 

Because this year’s  proposal selection committee accepted the highest number of papers ever, the attendees were able to choose from four concurrent paper sessions throughout the day. The diverse topics included dialects and language varieties in schooling, effective strategies for L2 writing development, goal-driven lesson planning and methodologies in the ESL classroom, learner motivation & achievement, local indigenous language situations, immigrant group assimilation/resistance, and examinations of semantic concept organization & processing in the mind, among others.
