We are pleased to announce the 2nd Conference on Tense, Aspect and Modality in L2 (TAML2). You are invited to submit abstracts for papers and posters on any domain and subdomain of temporality in SLA research. Whilst all submissions on the topic will be considered, particularly welcome are contributions with an emphasis on (a) futurity and modality in L2; (b) pedagogical applications of TAML2 research findings; (c) L2-modulated reorganisation of temporal concepts; and (d) theory building.
The Conference will start on the morning of 20 June 2016 and close on the following afternoon. All paper and poster presentations will be held at The King’s Manor (University of York), one of historic York’s most attractive and unusual venues.
