Since Horwitz's seminal definition of language anxiety as a complex of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors related to classroom language learning, it has been regarded as a very special and multidimensional psychological phenomenon during the process of language teaching, learning, and using.
From the confounded to the current contextual phase, research on language anxiety has been conducted worldwide, concerning its interfaces with speaking, reading, listening comprehension, and writing in additional languages. More recently, studies have increasingly focused on anxiety among non-native language teachers, bringing to the forefront the complexity of this construct through its intricate connections with other emotions, as well as the social and ideological implications of additional language teaching and learning.
Considering this constellation of studies on
language anxiety, the 2nd Language Anxiety Network One-Day Seminar, to be held
online on October 30th, 2026, is pleased to announce the Call for Individual
Presentation Proposals (an abstract of a presentation that can be single-authored or co-authored). The seminar welcomes submissions of theoretical and
empirical studies, as well as work-in-progress research on language anxiety in
the context of additional language teaching, use, and learning. Abstracts must not exceed 250
words. Each individual may submit a maximum of two individual proposals as the
first (or sole) author or co-author.
Registration is open, free of charge.
Submission deadline: September 30th, 2026
Notification
of acceptance will be sent by October 15th, 2026.
Presenters will have the opportunity to publish work arising from their presentations in an e-book.
