This year’s SIG Writing conference invites scholars to explore the dynamic relationship between research and practice in writing. Under the theme “Writing Research for Writing Practice," the conference aims to highlight how empirical findings, theoretical advances, and methodological innovations can inform and transform writing instruction, assessment, and professional development. The organizers welcome contributions that bridge the gap between research and real-world writing contexts— whether in schools, universities, or workplaces.
Proposals must be written in English and submitted using the online submission system:
