Abstracts can be 2000 to 3000 characters in length, including bibliography (4-5 references.) All submissions –including symposia – must be made without author identification, for blind review.

Abstract should detail the following details of the theoretical or empirical work:

1. Purpose
2. Theoretical/pedagogical background

Paper sessions

Paper sessions are oral presentations of four papers, followed by a discussion with the audience. Theoretical and empirical papers should present a completed research project, or they will not be accepted. Research that is at an earlier stage should be submitted for Poster sessions.

Paper sessions are scheduled for 90 minutes. Presenters are given 15 minutes presentation time, followed by 5 minutes for questions. At the end of all presentations, there is a 10-minute-long open discussion.

Poster sessions

Interactive poster sessions combine graphic display of materials with the opportunity for individualised, informal discussion of the research throughout a 90-minute session.

Each session involves five or six posters, with a short oral presentation by the authors, followed by a discussion between them and the audience.

Materials for fixing posters on the walls or poster boards will be provided.

Symposia

Symposia are planned sessions related to a specific topic area involving up to four presenters and a chair and one discussant/opponent. Symposia sessions are directed by a chair, involving up to four presenters and one opponent. All participants, including the opponent, should be registered as participant at the time of submission.

A symposium is scheduled for 90 minutes, allowing 15 minutes presentation time for each speaker, 10 minutes for the discussant, and 20 minutes for open discussion.
