BAAL / CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS SEMINAR 2021-22:
Going Meta: Bringing together an understanding of metadiscourse with students' metalinguistic understanding.



This seminar series focuses on metadiscourse and metalinguistic understanding for writing. Methodologically, metadiscourse tends to be explored through corpus studies, whilst metalinguistic understanding is researched through qualitative methods, reflecting the fact that metadiscourse has a textual focus, whilst metalinguistic understanding for writing has a writer focus. This seminar series will bring together international researchers in these two fields to explore the synergies between these two and establish more helpful ways to advance both future research and pedagogical practice with a more coherent model of their inter-relationship.  In the seminars, we will explore both theoretical research issues around metalinguistic understanding and metadiscourse and also the pedagogical implications of this. We hope the seminar series will identify fruitful further lines of research inquiry, and the powerful potential impact on the teaching and learning of writing by bringing together both textual practices and writer understanding.



The three seminars should be of interest not only to researchers specifically looking at metadiscourse or metalinguistic understanding, but also more broadly to anyone interested in research in writing and its implications for learning and teaching.


Seminar 1:   Mapping the Territory                                                                               4th May Online: 9.00-12.30
This opening seminar will introduce the Writing the Future study which was the impetus for this seminar series and hear from other researchers internationally about their research on metadiscourse and/or metalinguistic understanding for writing.
Seminar 2: Going Meta:  Exploring the possibilities of 'meta-understanding'            24th May:  10.00-4.00
This seminar will facilitate interactive discussion about the possibilities and potentials of bringing together research on metadiscourse and metalinguistic understanding for writing.
Keynote speakers include: Ken Hyland; Michaela Mahlberg; and Honglin Chen
Seminar 3:  Workshop                                                                                                   7th June Online: 9.00-12.30

This seminar will begin to plan a possible Special Issue for a relevant journal, on integrating metadiscourse and metalinguistic understanding, which reflects the outcomes of the seminar.
