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 ten Special
Interest Groups. They are (1) UK Linguistic Ethnography Forum, (2) Corpus Linguistics, (3) Multimodality, (4) Language Learning and Teaching, (5) Language in Africa, (6) Gender and Language, (7) Vocabulary Studies, (8) Testing, Evaluation and Assessment, and
(9) Intercultural Communication.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:black">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. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:black">Colloquium introduction and individual papers within the colloquium must be submitted separately, due to technical constraints. The organiser of the colloquium should first submit colloquium
title and introduction along with an overview of paper titles in the colloquium (max 450 words). The paper abstracts of the colloquium should then be submitted by the organiser one by one, entitled "Paper X of
<i>colloquium title</i>: <i>paper title</i>" followed by the abstract (max 300 words per abstract). 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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><b><span style="color:black;text-transform:uppercase">scholarships</span></b><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:black">During the abstract submission process, you will be asked to indicate whether you want to apply for a scholarship. If so, choose the scholarship you want to apply for. BAAL offers 4 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 an additional ‘Chris Brumfit scholarship’.<b>
</b>Details of the scholarships can be found on the BAAL website: <a href="http://www.baal.org.uk/funding.html" target="_blank">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:black">If, following the reviewing process, your abstract is accepted, you will be sent a scholarship form to complete. In this form you will be required to explain why you should be considered
for the award(s) (in 100 words). 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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:black">The scholarships are worth up to around £1,000 (this may be flexible depending on the cost of travel for the specific applicant), which goes towards registration, accommodation, meals
and travel.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
