At the Council of Europe in Strasbourg, AILA serves in an advisory and participatory capacity when called upon concerning issues where a general applied linguistics perspective is considered valuable. For example, AILA played a key role when the European Centre for Modern Languages of the Council of Europe (ECML) established its multi-institutional Professional Network Forum in 2009. Another example of AILA’s direct involvement is a Launching Conference on „Building Inclusive Societies through Enriching Plurilingual and Pluricultural Education“ in May 2018.
The 5th Applied Linguistics and Language Teaching International Conference and Exhibition (ALLT 2023) was held over three days, 03-05 March 2023 in Zayed University Dubai Campus, United Arab Emirates (UAE) under the theme Innovation, diversity and inclusivity in Applied Linguistics and language education. The Conference aimed at enhancing the professional and knowledge levels of ALLT members through achieving the following objectives:
Up to 200 delegates attended the conference from the Arab Gulf States and beyond. The event featured four Keynote speakers from the United Arab Emirates, Singapore, and Australia. It included more than 100 sessions in English including oral presentations, workshops and symposium sessions, in addition to 25 presentations delivered in Arabic. The sessions were on 14 strands, and the most common were the bilingualism and multilingualism and classroom- based research and researched-based teaching strands. ALLT 2023 presenters came from 40 countries, most of which are from the UAE, the host country (n=72 participants) followed by Saudi Arabia (n=27), then Algeria, United Kingdom (UK), the United States (US) and Bangladesh (n=9 from each of these countries).
ALLT 2023 featured the participation of seven regional and international exhibitors who introduced there most recent tools, products, and publications on material which the delegates could benefit from in research and language teaching. The conference offered more than five closed and special training sessions by the invited keynotes speakers and experts on topics relevant to the conference theme and linked with: teaching languages to students of determination; innovative language teaching through ChatGPT, and publications on Applied Linguistics: process, evaluation and traps.
ALLT this year continued to organize the Young Narrator Competition (الراوي الصغير 2023) where up to 100 children between the age of four and nine across the UAE participated in narrating a story written by themselves in Standard Arabic. The competition was judged by four scholars in Arabic language. The celebration of the young narrator was held on the third day of the conference with the presence of the winners’ and participants’ parents.

In November 2019 Network member Sari Pöyhönen led a seminar at the University of Jyväskylä which was co-produced by the Research Collegium for Language in Changing Society (Reclas, https://www.jyu.fi/reclas/en), Crossing Borders – Artistic Practices in Performing and Narrating Belonging (www.croboarts.org) and AILA Research Network Creative Inquiry in Applied Linguistics. The exploratory seminar brought together researchers and artists who are engaging with arts-based methods for researching and understanding language and communication. I also offered insights into language issues for people who might be marginalized or othered. The seminar included a number of network members and the Visual Representations of Multilingualism exhibition.
Network co-convenor Jessica Bradley presented the Multilingual Streets: Translating and Curating the Linguistic Landscape project at the Universitat Autònoma Barcelona in January 2020, including a creative methods workshop using zineing to explore embodied experiences of the linguistic landscape.
The international research network Communicating the Unsayable: Learning at the Intersection of Language and the Arts (LILA), led by Lou Harvey, Emilee Moore, and Cristina Aliagas (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona) had its first network event on 6th February 2020 at Leeds Central Library. The network brings together a variety of participants to consider the relationship between language and the creative arts for learning through four events themed around Making, Wellbeing, Engaging, and Belonging, and partners with Leeds Libraries, Pudsey Wellbeing Charity (West Yorkshire, UK), The British Museum (London), and Museu de Lleida (Catalonia). The first event saw 30 academics, artists and community organisations discuss the question How is material translated between different linguistic and artistic/aesthetic forms in processes of artistic making?
Across the ReN we have produced various publications relating to Creative Inquiry and Applied Linguistics. However, the one which has directly arised from the ReN and ReN activities is Bradley, J. & Harvey, L. (2019). Creative Inquiry and Applied Linguistics: Language, Communication and the Arts. In C. Wright, L. Harvey & J. Simpson (Eds.), Voices and Practices in Applied Linguistics (pp. 91-107). York: White Rose University Press.

We will hold a double colloquium at the congress, including a wide range of papers from across disciplines and contexts. Our colloquium programme will soon be published on the AILA website. Our ongoing discussions are available at our website, https://creativeinquiryaila.wordpress.com/, and JISCMAIL mailing list (which can be joined by emailing the convenors).
The LILA network will run until February 2021 and has three upcoming events in April (Wellbeing), September (Engaging) and October (Belonging) 2020. Registrations are open for the April event and calls for contributions to the autumn events will be circulated later in the spring. These events are regularly publicized on the Creative Inquiry in Applied Linguistics email list, and can also be followed at the project website, https://essl.leeds.ac.uk/lila-network.
The Multilingual Streets: Translating and Curating the Linguistic Landscape explores linguistic landscapes through collaborative ethnography with young people and creative practice, led by Jessica Bradley. The project outputs will include toolkits based on the project’s research and findings. These will be available online: https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/education/research/projects/multilingualstreets.
Convenor Lou Harvey is leading the project Translanguaging Performance Pedagogy for Adult Migrant Language Learners, co-produced with St Vincent’s Support Centre (the largest provider of free ESOL in Leeds) and theatre company A Quiet Word. We have been running arts-based workshops with adult migrants and users of the St Vincent’s Centre to develop a hospitable pedagogy which welcomes participants’ many communicative resources. Analysis is now under way and outcomes will be shared on the Creative Inquiry in Applied Linguistics mailing list and website. The third LILA network event, Engaging (London, 7th September 2020) will showcase similar arts-related ESOL projects and will be a useful space for anyone interested in this work.
There will be a joint AILA Creative Inquiry in Applied Linguistics Research Network and the Centre for Inclusion, Childhood and Youth seminar at University of Leeds on 8th April 2020. The focus will be on co-produced arts projects with young people, and will feature artist James Chisholm (University of Louisville) and Jessica Bradley (University of Sheffield). The event will be circulated on the Creative Inquiry in Applied Linguistics email list, and publicised on the University of Leeds School of Education website.
Network member Louise Atkinson will host a public talk on 6 May 2020 on The Value of the Arts in a Multilingual Society as part of the Leeds International Festival 2020. Speakers include Jessica Bradley, Clare Courtney, Amanda Phillips, Lou Harvey, Keziah Berelson and Tamsin Cook.

We are pleased to invite researchers, educators, and advocates to contribute chapters to an upcoming edited volume titled “Local Voices, Global Impact: Examining the role of English in Multilingual and Multicultural Contexts of the Global South”, for submission as an edited volume to Routledge. This volume is edited by Dr. Mona Nishizaki (University of Genoa), Dr. Rafael Timmermann (Federal University of Pará), and Prof. Dr. Kyria Finardi (Federal University of Espírito Santo) and aims to identify, interrogate and hopefully interrupt the ongoing legacies of colonialism that continue to shape education systems across the Global South, with particular focus on whose knowledge, experiences, and perspectives are centered and whose are marginalized. At the same time, as we observe a growth in English Medium Instruction (EMI) as the internationalization of higher education accelerates, we seek to highlight how the Global South can carve its own place in this evolving landscape while promoting multilingualism in situated, decolonized educational practices. This book will showcase local voices and experiences that connect to global trends, emphasizing the importance of multilingualism and decolonization in shaping more inclusive and equitable educational futures. We welcome contributions that explore both theoretical frameworks and practical approaches from diverse contexts within the Global South. Submissions may include but are not limited to:
Original research studies
Conceptual/theoretical papers
Case studies of best practices
Policy analyses
Reflections on grassroots initiatives
We are particularly interested in chapters addressing one or more of the following broad themes:
Decolonizing Education: Reclaiming Knowledge and Epistemologies in the Global South
Multilingualism and Linguistic Justice in Postcolonial Contexts
English as a Global Language: Opportunities and Challenges for the Global South
Navigating Globalization: The Global South in the Internationalized Higher Education Landscape
Pedagogical Innovations: Bridging Local and Global Contexts in Multilingual Classrooms
Language, Power, and Identity in Higher Education: Whose Voices Are Heard?
Policy, Equity, and Access in Education in and for the Global South
English Medium Instruction (EMI) and Its Impact on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Grassroots Educational Movements: possibilities and challenges for Local Voices and Global Advocacy
Technology in Education: exploring affordances and challenges in a Multilingual-Interconnected World
We invite contributions that critically engage with these topics from local perspectives, emphasizing the ways in which educational practices in the Global South can influence and reshape global discourses. Contributors are encouraged to provide contextually grounded insights that reflect the realities of multilingualism, colonial legacies, and the push for decolonization in educational settings.

New! Due to the Coronavirus outbreak, the conference has been rescheduled to 29 June – 4 July 2020 and will be held online. In this way, the BfC 2020 Organising Committee aims to actively respond to the current emergency situation, as well as to explore more innovative ways to reach out to the barrier-free communication academic and professional community worldwide.
This is the third and final conference being held as part of the project entitled “Proposal and implementation of a Swiss research centre for barrier-free communication” (2017-2020), the main goal of which is to ensure access to higher education for people with visual, hearing or temporary cognitive impairments. The project, which is a cooperation between the Institute of Translation and Interpreting of the ZHAW and the Faculty of Translation and Interpreting of the University of Geneva, is funded by the State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI) and is supported by the Swiss University Conference.
The 1st Swiss Conference on Barrier-free Communication was held on 15-16 September 2017 in Winterthur, Switzerland. It aimed to offer both a theoretical and an empirical perspective on the state of the art in the field (cf. BfC 2017 Proceedings). One year later, the second edition of the conference, which took place in Geneva, Switzerland, on 9-10 November 2018, further explored accessibility in educational settings (cf. BfC 2018 Proceedings).
Building on the 2017 and 2018 events, the 2020 conference sets out to provide a wider international forum to discuss most recent progress and future challenges in barrier-free communication. The conference will be centred on all aspects of the field, focusing in particular on novel research findings and emerging disciplines.
Researchers, academics and practitioners from 15 different countries will present 42 papers related to the following topics:
Registration is now open and will close on 22 June 2020. Please note that, due to the recent change in conference delivery format, registration fees have been reduced. You can find relevant information on the registration webpage.
The conference language will be English. Closed captions in English will be provided for each pre-recorded video. Given the change in delivery mode, this virtual conference aims to reach out to a wider and more international audience. As we strive to meet the needs of as many sign language users as possible, all conference presentations will be interpreted in International Sign.
This conference is co-sponsored by the Swiss Association for Applied Linguistics (VALS-ASLA).

The 14th International Symposium on Bilingualism will take place on 26-30 June 2023 at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia.
The theme of the conference is Diversity Now. The United Nations General Assembly has declared the period between 2022 and 2032 as the International Decade of Indigenous Languages to draw attention to the critical status of many Indigenous languages across the world and to encourage action for their preservation, revitalisation, and promotion. ISB14 especially encourages submissions of work involving lesser-studied bilingual communities and interdisciplinary work examining bilingualism across cultures, societies, and the life-span.
ISB14 invites submissions in all areas of research on bilingualism and multilingualism, including but not limited to: linguistics, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, applied linguistics, neuropsychology, language acquisition, clinical linguistics, language and education, and multilingual societies.
Keynote speakers include:
We invite abstracts for two categories of submissions: individual papers and posters.
Individual papers are formal presentations on original research or pedagogy-focused topics by one or more authors, lasting a maximum of 20 minutes with 5 additional minutes for discussion.
Posters on original research or pedagogy will be displayed in sessions that offer the opportunity for individualised, informal discussion with others in the field. Posters are especially effective for presenting work-in-progress, fieldwork, and results of empirical research for which data can be presented visually. Posters will be available throughout an entire day of the conference with presenters in attendance for a 90-minute poster session.
