7. - 11.6. 1999 
Centre for Applied Language Studies 
University of Jyväskylä, FINLAND 


LANGUAGE AND IDENTITY	

What is the relationship between language and identity? How are national,
cultural and ethnic identities constructed through the use of language in
various contexts? How are institutional and professional identities
constructed? What kind of methods can be applied to study the relationship
between language and identity? How can this relationship be taken into
account in teaching? These are some of the questions that will be discussed
in the Summer School. The aim of the School is to bring together recent
research as well as to provide insights for researchers, teachers and
students alike. 

The invited speakers are Claire Kramsch from California, Srikant Sarangi
from Wales, Ruth Wodak from Vienna and Genevieve Zarate from Paris. Talks
will also be given by  Finnish experts. The programme consists of lectures
and workshops. During the week the  participants will have an opportunity to
discuss  their own research or teaching methods. A detailed programme of the
Summer school will be available in April. 

Fee: FIM 950 (post graduate student FIM 600, students FIM 180) including V.A.T.
