Every presentation will be included in the conference proceedings, and presenters can also submit a full paper to be evaluated and later published in our online journal Avances en Educación y Humanidades. Proposals will cover but will not be limited to the following areas:
- Second/foreign language research methods
- Second/foreign language research and applied linguistics

The deadline for proposals submission is August 30th 2019. Proposals can be submitted in any of the following two options:
Papers:
These are formal presentations on a contribution of original knowledge by one or three authors maximum within a 20-minute period, including time for discussion (ideally 5 to 10 minutes for discussion). Only presentations of completed or ongoing research will be accepted.
Posters:
Posters are for face-to-face discussions of research presented by one or three authors. Posters are especially effective for information that can be presented visually (e.g., charts, graphs, tables, diagrams). A specific time will be designated during the conference for poster presenters to discuss their research. Posters can address completed research, ongoing research, or research proposals. However, if you have already submitted your research we advise you to submit it as a paper.
