The 2018 Symposium on Second Language Writing, will take place August 2-4, 2018 at the Harbour Centre campus of Simon Fraser University, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The conference, in Canada for the first time in its twenty-year history, is jointly hosted by Simon Fraser University and the University of British Columbia. 

This year’s theme is “Second Language Writing in Multilingual Contexts.” While second language writing as a field has always focused on writers who use multiple languages, in recent years the field has begun to contend with perspectives that bring multilingualism to the foreground in new ways. Come join teachers and scholars of second language writing from 30 different countries to learn about the latest research in this important area of English language teaching.
