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. <br class=""><br class="">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.<br class=""><br class="">Register for the Symposium here: <a href="http://sslw.asu.edu/2018/registration.html" target="_blank" style="word-wrap: break-word; color: rgb(109, 198, 221);" class="">http://sslw.asu.edu/2018/registration.html</a><br class=""><br class=""><strong class="">Plenary speakers</strong>:<br class=""><br class=""><span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 0);" class="">Ryuko Kubota</span>, University of British Columbia:<strong class=""> Ideologies and realities on plurilingual academic writers in multilingual contexts: Seeking clarity and advocacy</strong><br class=""><br class=""><span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 0);" class="">Steve Marshall</span>, Simon Fraser University: <strong class="">Writing in English as an additional language across the disciplines in higher education: Challenges, dilemmas, and plurilingual pedagogy</strong><br class=""><br class=""><span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 0);" class="">Guangwei Hu</span>, Hong Kong Polytechnic University: <strong class="">A testing time for testing L2 writing: A proposal for a construct redefinition</strong><br class=""><br class=""><span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 0);" class="">Paul Kei Matsuda</span>, Arizona State University and Nanjing University: <strong class="">Reexamining second language writing in the era of fluidity </strong></td></tr></tbody></table><div class=""><br class=""></div></body></html>
