Language Policy and Language Learning: New Paradigms and New Challenges

University of Limerick, 18-20 June, 2009

 

The Irish Association for Applied Linguistics / Cumann na Teangeolaíochta Feidhmí will host this large international conference immediately after a meeting of the AILA Executive Board and International Committee in the university.

 

The conference is concerned with all aspects of language policy and the learning of languages. It will address the status and form of languages as well as acquisition policies pertaining to their teaching and learning. It will welcome papers, posters and panels on promoting and managing language policy and research on the development, implementation and effects of language policy in all regions of the world. The organisers will particularly welcome studies that contribute to language policy theory, both in regard to language learning and other domains.

 

The organising committee looks forward to welcoming delegates to the University of Limerick, which is located on extensive scenic parkland spanning the two banks of the River Shannon in western Ireland. The plenary speakers will be:

 

Jennifer Jenkins, University of Southampton 

Kendall King, Georgetown University 

Muiris Ó Laoire, Institute of Technology Tralee 

Mark Sebba, Lancaster University
