AILA World Congress 2024: A Historic Diamond Jubilee in Kuala Lumpur, 11th-16thAugust 2024
Global Delegates Celebrate 60 Years of Linguistic Innovation
The 21st International Association of Applied Linguistics (AILA) World Congress concluded with great fanfare in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, marking a pivotal moment in the association’s 60-year history. Drawing over 1,700 onsite and online participants from across the globe, the congress not only celebrated AILA’s diamond jubilee but also underscored its continued influence in shaping the future of applied linguistics. Hosted by the Malaysian Association of Applied Linguistics (MAAL), this milestone event at the iconic Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre reflected both the rich heritage and the forward-thinking vision of the global linguistics community.
Against the dramatic skyline of the Petronas Twin Towers, the congress took on the theme "Linguistic Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Sustainability," sparking robust discussions on critical issues facing the field. With 14 thematic tracks, the event provided a platform for a wide range of research and ideas, making it a hub for academic exchange and collaborative innovation.
Bridging Cultures and Minds
Far more than just an academic symposium, the congress was a vibrant celebration of linguistic and cultural diversity. The opening ceremony featured a stunning showcase of Malaysian culture, with distinguished ambassadors, sponsors, and representatives from numerous countries in attendance. The congress was officiated by the President of AILA, Professor Azirah Hashim, the first Asian president of the Association. 80 successful recipients of the AILA Solidarity Awards were announced by the Chair of the Solidarity Awards committee, Prof. Kyria Finardi. The AILA Honorary Award was presented to Professor Wen Qiu Fang of the National Research Center for Foreign Language Education and the Consortium for Chinese Studies and Intercultural Communication, Beijing Foreign Studies University.
More than 1200 papers were delivered in three modes - onsite, hybrid and online at the congress featuring an array of keynote papers, featured papers, symposia, workshops, individual papers and posters. Six keynote papers were delivered onsite at the congress, featuring renowned applied linguists, Prof. Ingrid Pillar, Prof. Asmah Hj Omar, Prof. Catherine Nickerson, Prof. Enric Llurda, Prof. Low Ee Ling and Prof. Sinfree Makoni. One of the highlights of the congress was the 60th Anniversary Plenary symposium on the ‘History of Applied Linguistics’ which was led by Prof. Richard Smith alongside a panel consisting of Prof. John E. Joseph, Prof. Azirah Hashim, Assoc. Prof. Ruanni Tupas, Prof. Cristine Severo, Prof. Claire Kramsch and Assoc. Prof. Ashraf Abdelhay. There was also UNESCO presence in the Special Symposium by the Asia-Pacific Multilingual Education Working Group comprising UNESCO Bangkok and UNICEF EAPRO on ‘Partnerships, Policies and Practices on First Language-Based Multilingual Education in Asia and the Pacific’.
Social gatherings were equally memorable. Delegates enjoyed an array of cultural activities, from a lively cultural welcome reception to the gala dinner at the Royale Chulan Hotel, which featured traditional fashion shows, music, and dance. The Malaysian satay evenings and city walkabouts offered attendees the chance to explore Kuala Lumpur’s vibrant cityscape while building lasting connections within the global linguistic community.
A Future of Collaboration and Impact
Chaired by Professor Shameem Rafik-Galea and co-chaired by Associate Professor Cecilia Yin Mei Cheong, the event supported by the MAAL Committee and members, MP Events (the professional congress organizer), and the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre team, was a powerful reminder of AILA’s continued leadership in fostering innovation, research, and social impact within the field of applied linguistics.
AILA’s incoming president, Professor Kyria Finardi delivered her aspirations for the future of AILA under her leadership for the next chapter of AILA's journey. The congress concluded on a high note, with Professor Rafik-Galea presenting awards for the best poster presentations and delivering her closing speech, culminating in a celebratory end to the five-day congress.
The organising committee of AILA 2024 extends their heartfelt thanks to all sponsors, particularly ELS Language Centres Malaysia, the Sime Darby Foundation and the Australian High Commission in Kuala Lumpur, as well as to delegates, publishers, and contributors who made this event a resounding success.

The Faculty of Arts and Humanities at the University of Passau invites applications for the tenured civil-service post of:
Chair of Multilingual Computational Linguistics (W3)
This post is available to start immediately.
The Faculty of Arts and Humanities is characterised by a wide range of geographical, thematic, methodological and academic subjects, as represented by its chairs and professorships. In addition to the regional particularity of inter- and transdisciplinary research and teaching, the faculty emphasises critical reflection on the interplay between digitalisation and the future social and cultural fabric of European societies in a global context as well as research on education and sustainability.
The University of Passau is establishing three new Chairs—Methods of Empirical Social Research; Comparative European Cultural Studies: Theories and Methods; and Multilingual Computational Linguistics—to create a new thematic focal point for research, reflection and teaching related to innovative and integrative scientific methodology within the Faculty of Arts and Humanities.
All three Chairs interlace with each other, thereby covering the full methodological breadth of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, from quantitative, empirical to qualitative, hermeneutical approaches. Future postholders require a high level of theoretical and applied methodological competence, which must not only have a strong epistemological grounding but also enable them to develop innovative research strategies.
We are seeking an expert of international renown to represent the subject of multilingual computational linguistics with a focus on automated language processing methods in teaching and research. Candidates must have rigorous knowledge of the core computational linguistics concepts of several sub-areas (including lexis, morphology, syntax, discourse linguistics, pragmatics, language technology and machine learning) and be familiar with various methodological approaches and their application in multilingual contexts. A willingness to develop and apply theories, methods and technologies in the service of cultural sustainability and linguistic ecology is expected. The multilingual computational linguistics chair to be established should take as its object of analysis and comparison different European national languages and variants thereof. Relevant teaching experience is required.
The Chair is expected to make a significant contribution to the relevant social-science, humanities and cultural-studies degree programmes of the faculty. To this end, the Chair should participate in the development of new degree programmes and the redesign of existing undergraduate and master's programmes, including the teacher education programmes. It is expected that the postholder teach research-led modules, particularly for the master's degree programmes. Candidates must be able to teach courses in English and in German.
Excellent publications on methodological questions, exemplary didactic ability and dedication to teaching, a strong track record in the acquisition of external (third-party) funds, proximity of the candidate's research interests to the faculty's thematic foci and experience in interdisciplinary projects are important selection criteria.
The successful candidate will be educated to doctoral level and either possess a formal postdoctoral qualification, such as the German 'Habilitation', or equivalent academic achievements garnered within or outside the higher education system or as part of a previous assistant professor or comparable role (e.g. German 'Juniorprofessur') or relevant qualification programmes such as the Emmy Noether Programme of the DFG. He or she will have demonstrated pedagogical aptitude and academic excellence, whereby the latter is generally established on the basis of the quality of his/her doctoral research and subsequent achievements, as applicable. In accordance with Art. 10(3)(1) of the Bavarian Higher Education Employment Act (BayHSchPG), candidates must not be more than 52 years of age at the time of their appointment.
The University of Passau actively promotes equal opportunities for all genders as well as diversity in the workforce; therefore, applications are welcome from all candidates who fulfil the requisite qualifications, without regard to gender, cultural or social background, religion, world view, disability or sexual identity. As the University of Passau wishes to raise the pro- portion of women in research and teaching, female academics are expressly encouraged to apply.

BAAL 2018 will be held at York St John University in York, UK. After celebrating half a century of BAAL in 2017, our theme—Taking Risks in Applied Linguistics—will make the 2018 meeting a testing ground for new ways of pursuing our research and improving our practice. Our global community is facing unsettling times, and language use is at the heart of many of the challenges we face.
Such challenges include: new and renewed areas of social inequality; political, social and economic instabilities; language learning and teaching-related concerns; and legislative changes which affect the rights of certain groups. The 2018 meeting will be a forum for bold thinking to address these challenges. We hope the conference theme will encourage innovative proposals for papers, posters, and colloquia. We will provide some alternative session types too, so that delegates can present and get feedback on unfinished but original lines of thought and untested but promising new approaches to research and practice. New work on old ideas is also very welcome, to ensure that our collective disciplinary wisdom isn’t lost. Equally, we want to hear about work from outside our disciplinary borders, and indeed, outside of academia altogether.
The BAAL 2018 conference is hosted by LIdIA (Language and Identities in InterAction), an interdisciplinary research unit based in the School of Languages and Linguistics. York St John University is located in the centre of York. Rich in ancient history and famous for its wealth of visitor attractions, York is a flourishing city, just two hours by train from London and Edinburgh. The campus is easily accessible by car and rail. The University is a 16-minute walk or a short taxi ride from the train station. The nearest major airports are Leeds Bradford Airport (30 miles) or Manchester Airport (85 miles). Getting from Leeds Bradford Airport to York is easiest by taxi. There is a direct train from Manchester Airport.

Excellencies, distinguished guests, esteemed colleagues, and dear friends,
A very good morning to all and a warm welcome to AILA 2024 and to the 60th anniversary of the founding of our Association. As we say in Malay, Selamat Datang. This milestone is not just a testament to the longevity of AILA, but a celebration of the remarkable journey we have undertaken together, our achievements, and the vibrant intellectual, academic and professional community we have built.
The theme of this congress, Linguistic Diversity, Equity, Inclusivity and Sustainability, reflects the dynamic and evolving nature of our field. As we know, applied linguistics is not just about studying language; it is about harnessing the power of language to address real-world problems, to bridge cultural divides, to enhance communication, and to foster inclusion and equality. Our work and its contribution to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals spans a wide range of areas and together, we are making significant strides in understanding and addressing some of the most pressing issues of our time.
Sixty years ago, a group of visionary scholars and practitioners came together with a shared mission: to explore the practical applications of linguistic knowledge and to use this understanding to address real-world challenges. They laid the foundation for what has become a dynamic, interdisciplinary field that spans education, technology, healthcare, social justice, and more.
Bernard Pottier from France, to whom I send our warmest best wishes on his centenary year, was the first President of AILA from 1964 to 1969. The second President was Pit Corder from the British Association and the third Guy Rondeau from the Canadian Association. Other founders who played a key role in the Association’s early days include John Trim, chair of BAAL who was vice-president of AILA and an honorary member and Gerhard Nickel of the German association who was Secretary-General for two terms.
We do not diminish in any way the contribution and achievements of AILA’s pioneers when we note that one of the successes of our Association is that it has evolved from the days when it was a predominantly male and Western body. It now celebrates a great range of scholars from a diversity of backgrounds, drawing on the talents of our world-wide membership. And, you will forgive me if I mention the particular pride I feel in this Congress being held in my home country, Malaysia for the first time.
Today, we honour those pioneers whose foresight and dedication gave birth to this Association. We reflect on the countless contributions of our members - past and present - whose research, teaching, and practice have advanced our understanding of language in all its complexity. We celebrate the innovations that have emerged from our collective efforts and the impact we have made on individuals, communities, and societies around the world. In relation to this, I am pleased to announce that an initiative that started three years ago has led to the creation of an archive on our website, making available past Newsletters, Bulletins and early issues of AILA Review to all members.
As we look back on six decades of progress, we recognise the transformative role of applied linguistics. Our work has revolutionised language teaching and learning, making education more inclusive and effective. We have helped to develop technologies that break down language barriers, enabling people to communicate and collaborate across borders. We have advocated for the preservation of linguistic diversity, championing the rights of minority language speakers. And we have addressed critical issues of social inequality, ensuring that language is a bridge, not a barrier, to opportunity and justice.
But this anniversary is not just about looking back; it is also about looking forward. The world today is more interconnected and more complex than ever before. The challenges we face - climate change, migration, technological change, and social inequality and others - require innovative and interdisciplinary approaches. Applied linguistics is uniquely positioned to meet these challenges, offering insights and solutions that are grounded in a deep understanding of language and communication. As we embark on this congress, let us remember that our collective efforts have the potential to make a difference in the lives of individuals and communities around the world.
This congress brings together a diverse community of scholars, educators, researchers, and practitioners who share a common passion for understanding and improving the intricate relationship between language and society. We have a rich programme of presentations, workshops, panel discussions, and networking opportunities. We will hear from leading experts in the field, explore cutting-edge research, and engage in stimulating debates. I encourage you all to take full advantage of these opportunities, to share your insights and experiences, and to build lasting connections with your fellow participants.
In closing, I would recall that applied linguistics is a field that thrives on collaboration, innovation, and a deep commitment to understanding and improving the human condition. Let us be inspired by the diversity and richness of our collective knowledge and experience. Let us embrace the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead with enthusiasm and determination. And let us continue to work together to advance the frontiers of applied linguistics, for the benefit of all.
Organising a world congress is not for the faint hearted. I would like to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of those who have made this event possible, first and foremost, Professor Shameem Rafiq-Galea and the Malaysian team and MP Events. From the organizing committee to the volunteers, sponsors, and partners, your contributions are invaluable, and we are very grateful for your support.
I extend my heartfelt gratitude to all participants. Your presence and your contributions have brought us to this momentous occasion, and your continued engagement will drive us forward into a future full of promise and potential.
For many of you this will be your first visit to Southeast Asia, a region renowned for its rich cultural and linguistic diversity, famed for its vibrant cities, stunning landscapes and warm hospitality. I am pleased that your journey begins in Malaysia.
In closing, let us celebrate this milestone with pride and joy. Let us honour our past, embrace our present, and look to the future with hope and determination. Here’s to the next sixty years of discovery, innovation, and impact in applied linguistics!
Thank you and with best wishes to all for a fruitful and inspiring congress.
Azirah Hashim President of AILA, 2021-2024

Text of Speech by President of AILA, Prof. Dr. Azirah Hashim on 16 August 2024
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
It is an immense honour to have been part of this week’s wonderful Congress. I extend my heartfelt thanks to the people who made it all possible and to the participants who have made it such a memorable occasion worthy of AILA’s 60th anniversary.
Over the course of the week, we have shown the true potential of AILA not just in demonstrating the reach of our field of endeavour but also highlighting the importance of collective efforts in shaping the future of our domain.
I want to thank the congress organizers, Steering Committee - Chair: Shameem Rafiq-Galea, Deputy Chair: Cecilia Cheong, Zarina Othman, Cordelia Mason, Daniel Chow, Shahrina Mohd. Nordin, Congress advisor: Christina Gitsaki, and others too many to mention. Your dedication, hard work, and meticulous planning have brought us together for an unforgettable experience.
A special thanks to our presenters. Your insights, expertise, and willingness to share your knowledge have been truly inspiring. The discussions and ideas exchanged during this congress have not only enriched our minds but have also paved the way for future innovations and collaborations.
To my fellow attendees, thank you for your active participation and enthusiasm. Your engagement has made this conference a vibrant and dynamic space. The connections we’ve made and the knowledge we’ve gained will undoubtedly have a lasting impact on our respective fields. I was especially impressed by the energy and enthusiasm of our junior colleagues from around the world. We can all take great satisfaction in the prospects of our discipline and our association in the years to come. And of course a source of particular pride for me personally and my Malaysian and Southeast Asian colleagues is that AILA has gathered in Kuala Lumpur for this event.
It is with a mixture of gratitude, pride, and some sadness that I deliver my final address as President of our Association. Serving in this role has been the greatest honour of my life and, reflecting on my tenure and examining past documents in the AILA archive, I am reminded of the many milestones that have passed since the founding of AILA in 1964. From ground breaking research initiatives to impactful congresses and affiliates’ conferences, from fostering international collaboration to advocating for linguistic diversity and social justice, our association has continued to thrive, staying true to our mission while also adapting to the changing landscape of our field.
I am particularly proud of the strides we have made in several key areas over the past number of years.
Cutting-edge research that addresses real-world problems, contributing to advances in education, technology, health care, and social inclusion. Our research and collaborative projects have not only pushed the boundaries of our knowledge but have also had a tangible impact on communities around the world.
The AILA Review Journal, the Scopus-indexed journal published by John Benjamins. Members can access issues of the journals through the AILA website. We have now digitised early print issues and these are also available on the website.
The recent creation of an AILA archive ensuring that the board and members have full access to the Association’s history and previous strategies and decisions. The archive will be a valuable asset for researchers, historians, and members interested in exploring the Association’s history, activities and impact.
The fruits of our efforts can be seen in the diversity of our association, ensuring that voices from different linguistic, cultural, and disciplinary backgrounds are heard. This inclusivity has enriched our work and strengthened our community. Efforts can be seen through the diversity of our Board, the conferring of Solidarity awards, the establishment of committees such as the Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusivity committee, the Endorsement of best practices committee and others.
AILA Research Networks (ReNs) and seminars providing members with access to valuable resources, mentoring and networking opportunities. These initiatives have supported career growth and fostered a spirit of lifelong learning. One new development in this regard is the Early Career Researchers - ASEAN and Australia network within AILA. There was also a large presence of Early Career Researchers at the Congress.
Forging of partnerships with organisations and institutions around the world, facilitating international collaboration and knowledge exchange. Connections with UN bodies - UNESCO, International Organisation for Migration, UNICEF etc. - was seen in this Congress and in the AILA Research Networks. These connections have enhanced our global reach and impact.
Hybrid congresses. The experiences and learnings from the AILA Congress Lab will help develop a new format for the AILA World Congress to be more inclusive, more inspiring, and more relevant in the future.
New technologies for conferences and meetings have enabled greater participation and engagement, even in challenging times. Several online meetings by members of the Executive Board have been held with affiliates during the past few years. These have helped us to learn about concerns and to exchange views on how AILA can better assist affiliates.
Advocating for Linguistic Diversity. Members have been strong advocates for the preservation and promotion of linguistic diversity. Several symposia at this Congress highlight this. Our advocacy efforts have influenced language policies and practices at both national and international levels.
It has been a privilege to work alongside such a talented and diverse group of individuals, and I am deeply grateful for your trust and collaboration.

3rd International Conference on Migration Linguistics, Malaysia and Singapore, November 2026
Conference Theme: Migrants at the Margins: Roots, Routes, Belonging, and Language
Contemporary migration is a phenomenon shaped by histories of displacement, changing work opportunities, geopolitical shifts, global inequalities, and the climate emergency. As people migrate, they navigate new social, cultural, political, and linguistic terrains. A large proportion of people who migrate for better opportunities elsewhere tend to be at the mercy of forces of power both at the origin and in the destination. In the process, their identities are reshaped across roots (heritage and origin), routes (journeys, mobilities, border crossings), belonging (integration, exclusion), and language (communication, identity, power, survival).
This conference places special attention on migrants situated at the margins. It seeks to illuminate the complex linguistic, cultural, and social experiences of migrant individuals and communities whose voices often remain unheard in dominant narratives. We welcome contributions that engage with the intersections of migration and language from diverse theoretical, methodological, creative, and community-based lenses.
We welcome proposals for paper presentations, panels, workshops, and creative formats that engage with the following (but not limited to) sub-themes:
Roots: Histories, Heritage, and Language Maintenance Heritage language preservation and intergenerational transmission Narratives of homeland, displacement, and ancestral ties Linguistic revitalization among migrant or diasporic communities Linguistic traces in Migration Histories Routes: Journeys, Transits, and Mobilities Language use in transit, borderlands, and temporary settlements Communication challenges in mobility Linguistic landscapes across migratory routes New mobilities in digital migration and transnational networks Belonging: Identity, Integration, and Exclusion Language policies and migrant inclusion/exclusion Accent discrimination and linguistic prejudice Language learning and social integration in migration contexts Multilingualism and translingual practices in diaspora Language: Power, Agency, and Negotiation Language as a tool for advocacy and resistance Linguistic exploitation and rights in Disaster communication and forced migration Theories, methods, and innovations in migration linguistics
Migrant storytelling, performance, and language in the arts

Online Workshop “Research Methods in Terminology.”
Hungarian Association of Applied Linguists and Language Teachers, Terminology Section, in cooperation with AILA Europe, hosts the online workshop “Research Methods in Terminology”.
This online workshop invites researchers, doctoral students and practitioners to explore and discuss methodological approaches to terminology research across disciplines. As an inherently interdisciplinary field, terminology research draws on linguistics, translation studies, corpus linguistics, knowledge representation, and the digital humanities. This workshop aims to provide a forum for reflecting on established and emerging research methods, their theoretical grounding and their practical applications.
We particularly welcome contributions that critically engage with research design, data collection, analysis, and interpretation in terminology-related studies.
Topics of interest include:
Qualitative and quantitative methods in terminology research
Corpus-based and corpus-driven approaches to terminology
Terminology extraction, annotation and evaluation methods
Methodological issues in multilingual and contrastive terminology research
Methods in terminography and terminology management
Use of digital tools, AI, and NLP in terminology research
Abstracts of approximately 200 words should be submitted via Google Form by 15 March 2026.

AILA-Europe Junior Researcher Meeting 2026
AILA-Europe Junior Researchers Meeting (JRM) 2026 is hosted by the Irish Association for Applied Linguistics (IRAAL) and is part of the IRAAL Annual Conference, held 13-14 November 2026 at the University of Limerick.
Conference theme: “Attitudes towards languages: Multilingualism, plurilingualism and language education for a democratic, just and sustainable world”. Contributions are invited from early-career researchers who are members of AILA Europe affiliate associations, eligible for the reduced registration rate.
Call for papers is open. Submission deadline: Sunday 12th of April, 2026:
BAAL 2019 will be held at Manchester Metropolitan University, Manchester, UK.
Our theme – Broadening the Horizons of Applied Linguistics – takes as its premise that applied linguistics underpins a vast range of disciplines, and we intend the 2019 meeting to encourage exploration of the role that applied linguistics plays in many walks of life. We hope the conference theme will encourage proposals from a wide range of disciplines and that this in turn will encourage cross-disciplinary dissemination of ideas and research. Our Local Organising Committee is drawn from different faculties and departments across the university – the School of Teacher Education and Professional Development and the School of Childhood, Youth and Educational Studies, both within the Faculty of Education, the Department of Languages, Information and Communications within the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, and the Faculty of Health, Psychology & Social Care.
The BAAL 2019 conference is hosted by the Faculty of Education, located in the Brooks Building in the centre of Manchester. Manchester is a vibrant, lively city which not only has a rich industrial heritage but is also home to an exciting and varied cultural life. Manchester is only two hours from London by train, and in easy reach of Liverpool, Chester, North Wales and the Lake District, the Peak District and Yorkshire. The campus is easily accessible by car and rail. The University is a 20-minute walk or a short taxi ride from the train station. There is a direct train from Manchester Airport.
PLENARY SPEAKERS:
Julia Carroll – University of Coventry
Tim Grant – Aston University
Kate Pahl – Manchester Metropolitan University
Adrian Holliday – Canterbury Christ Church University (Pit Corder lecture)
BAAL EC INVITED COLLOQUIA:
To be confirmed
CONFERENCE ORGANISERS:
Conference Support: contact
Conference webpage: www.mmu.ac.uk/baal2019
CALL FOR PAPERS:
Abstracts are welcome in any area of Applied Linguistics, should be interesting and innovative in some way, and should be of scholarly and academically good quality and indicate clearly objectives, method(s), and results where appropriate. Abstracts which address the conference theme will be particularly welcome.
DEADLINE FOR RECEIPT OF ABSTRACTS: 10 April 2019
Maximum abstract length: 300 words
To submit your abstract please use Oxford Abstracts https://app.oxfordabstracts.com/stages/890/submission
If you haven’t used this system before please register first. All submissions must be submitted on-line. If you have any queries please contact
ABSTRACT TYPE:
Indicate the type of abstract that you are submitting during the submission process: individual presentation for parallel sessions or a SIG track, poster, or colloquium.
Individual presentation for the parallel sessions
Individual papers have 25 minutes: 20 for the presentation, 5 for questions.
Individual presentation for a Special Interest Group (SIG) track
If you believe your paper is of interest to a SIG track, you may want to submit it to one of the SIG tracks (all individuals, whether or not officially SIG members, are eligible). The SIG may then wish to include your paper in a track at the annual meeting. Submitting your abstract to a SIG track may or may not lead to your paper being included in a SIG track and has no impact on abstract acceptance to the conference. BAAL has thirteen Special Interest Groups. They are: (1) Corpus Linguistics; (2) Health and Science Communication; (3) Intercultural Communication; (4) Language, Gender and Sexuality; (5) Language and New media; (6) Language in Africa; (7) Language Learning and Teaching; (8) Language Policy; (9) Linguistic Ethnography; (10) Linguistics and Knowledge about Language in Education; (11) Professional, Academic and Work-based Literacies (PAWBL); (12) Testing, Evaluation and Assessment; (13) Vocabulary Studies.
Proposed colloquium
We invite colloquia on particular themes which have relevance to the conference. Colloquia have half a day and a minimum of four papers. Colloquia proposers should plan their half day in four slots, in step with the individual paper slots. If they wish to have a larger number of papers, they may fit two papers into what would normally be a single slot. Colloquia papers should cohere. The order of the papers should not be changed after acceptance. An abstract for the colloquium introduction is required along with abstracts for each paper within the colloquium (300 words per abstract). Please state explicitly in the abstract text to say that it's part of a colloquium (with colloquium title).
Poster
We strongly encourage the submission of abstracts for posters. We aim to raise the profile of posters at our conference since we value them as equal to other forms of presentation, and we believe that they tend to receive more feedback than individual papers. All posters will be listed in the book of abstracts, and there will be a dedicated area and time slot for discussion of poster presentations. There will also be a £50 prize for best poster displayed at the conference.
SCHOLARSHIPS:
During the abstract submission process, you will be asked to indicate whether you want to apply for a scholarship. If so, we will send the scholarship application forms to you by email. Each candidate will also be required to provide two full references plus a list of other conferences they have attended and any other grants/scholarships that they have received for their studies.
BAAL offers 4-5 full conference scholarships (for students or early career researchers, with the latter defined as being within 2 years of PhD completion). Monies from a special ring-fenced fund, contributed by donors, will pay for the additional ‘Chris Brumfit scholarship’ for up to £1,000, which is usually targeted at delegates from outside Britain who would not otherwise have funds to do so to attend the BAAL Annual Meeting.
The scholarships will help towards the cost of the conference fee, onsite accommodation for the duration of the conference (where accommodation is graded, the fund will only cover the cost of the cheapest option) and within UK travel (for student/ ECR scholarship), subject to fair use (e.g. no first class travels/ taxi journeys).
ALL PRESENTERS HAVE TO BE BAAL MEMBERS BY THE TIME THEY REGISTER FOR THE CONFERENCE.

Plurilingualism and Translanguaging: Pedagogical Approaches for Empowerment and Validation
In the field of additional language learning and teaching, languages have often been conceptualized and studied as separate systems giving way to the implementation of monolingual approaches to additional language learning. In the field of TESOL and Applied Linguistics more generally, teachers and researchers have consistently questioned and challenged these monolingual views. As a result, we have witnessed a surge in research with plurilingual learners and their teaching across educational contexts (e.g., immersion programs, adult education, primary schools), and this plurilingual turn is giving way to vibrant discussions surrounding theories, concepts, and, most importantly, pedagogical approaches that empower and engage plurilingual students (Galante, 2020, Payant, in press). This Special Issue will bring the voices of scholars working with and researching plurilingual learners’ language development and identity construction from diverse theoretical perspectives, learning diverse languages, living and studying in Canada and internationally. We are interested in research and practice that have direct implications to the Canadian context. We invite submissions pertaining to plurilingualism including the following aspects:
Plurilingualism and translanguaging pedagogical practices with Indigenous, official, and heritage languages
Plurilingual/translingual writing pedagogy
Student and teacher identities through plurilingual/translingual approaches
Literacy development through plurilingual/translingual approaches
Plurilingualism and translanguaging practices across pedagogical settings (e.g., immersion classrooms, tertiary classrooms, pre-K classrooms, K-12, community languages programs)
Plurilingual and pluricultural competence development
Pre-service and in-service teachers’ beliefs and reported practices
Plurilingual/translingual learning strategies and assessment
Plurilingual/translingual curriculum development and evaluation
This Special Issue of TESL Canada Journal will publish “Full-length Research Articles”, “In the Classroom” and “Perspectives” papers as well as “Book Reviews” . Please refer to author guidelines for more information: http://www.teslcanadajournal.ca/index.php/tesl/about/submissions.
Interested authors are invited to submit a 400-word abstract (including references) to by January 10, 2021. Notice of acceptance will be emailed in January. Full manuscripts are due May 15th 2021 and will be subject to a double-blind review process.
Abstracts are due January 10, 2021.

At the annual meetings of the AILA Executive Board with the AILA International Committee, AILA decides on strategic collaboration on global and regional levels.
Starting from an online survey on the national level, AILA provides a sharepoint for affiliates’ good practices of strategic collaboration with their partner institutions.
Strategic partnerships and collaboration practices are documented on the AILA website, updates are shared via newsletter and app.
Once again the A.S Hornby Educational Trust (ASHET) is pleased to announce a call for research proposals under the A.S. Hornby Dictionary Research Awards initiative (ASHDRA).
Through this annual award scheme we aim to facilitate innovative research into areas of lexicography that will feed into practical benefits for learners of English.
Details of the 2020 awards and relevant application papers can be found on the ASHET website http://www.hornby-trust.org.uk/newpage#Projects
The MAAL-SAAL-TAAL initiative aims to intensify networking and collaboration between the Malaysian Association of Applied Linguistics (MAAL), the Singapore Association of Applied Linguistics (SAAL), the Thailand Association of Applied Linguistics (TAAL) – and future partners in the ASEAN region.
MAAL and SAAL have collaborated on a joint initiative since 2013. The associations convened symposia with speakers from each AILA national affiliate to present on a topic of common interest in applied linguistics. In 2018, the new Thailand Association of Applied Linguistics (TAAL) also participated in this activity in Kuala Lumpur where presenters spoke about trends in applied linguistics in their own country. Subsequently, in 2019, MAAL and SAAL invited the Philippines association to participate as well.
This tandem initiative will continue with another joint symposium with the theme English and Multilingualism: ASEAN perspectives in Manila in December 2020. Representatives from the affiliates will also discuss an AILA ASEAN signature conference that will be hosted in rotation by the different affiliates. The initiative would welcome other ASEAN applied linguistics groups and may hopefully lead to a bigger joint ASEAN network of applied linguistics.
The annual conference of the Society for Applied Linguistics (GAL) will take place in 2023 on the campus of the University of Mainz, Germany.
The conference is organized by the 15 sections of the GAL and is characterized by the fact that the individual sections can discuss and continue their respective topics under current issues.
So we offer 15 section conferences with specific current issues within the overall conference . There are diverse, customizable ways to link these aspects, because the sections meet in two groups one after the other. This means that it is possible to take part in two whole consecutive sections over the course of the conference. Fixed break times between the sections also allow a section change at any time . You can put together your conference program individually.
The purpose of this conference is to create a forum for discussions on changes in the perception of cultural and linguistic identities in an academic environment. It aims to explore the evolution of communication styles taking place in today’s globalized and multicultural societies.
We invite representatives from the departments of humanities and social sciences who are interested in exchanging theoretical and practical approaches to these phenomena and processes: on a global, national or regional level; from disciplinary, intercultural, cognitive and educational perspectives.
Therefore, the conference aims to bring together scholars and practitioners from the fields of anthropocentric linguistics; anthropological linguistics; linguistic anthropology; identity and cultural studies; SLA, ESP and English as a lingua franca.
Our plenary speakers are:
Mario Brdar, Professor, University of Osijek (Croatia)
Günter Radden, Emeritus Professor, University of Hamburg (Germany)
Francisco J. Ruiz de Mendoza Ibáñez, Professor, University of La Rioja (Spain)
Leonard Talmy, Emeritus Professor, University of Buffalo, New York (U.S.A.)
