(5) International Network for Educational Linguistics as a Discipline (INFELAD)

[Educational Linguistics]

Thank you for more contribution to the discipline *and* to the (virtual)
network. However, it would be more helpful if people could really begin some
meaningful and relevant discussions, for example, about the relationship
between applied and educational linguistics. All are welcome to contribute
*your* view (which doesn't have to be based on published or authoritative
sources).

Should educational linguistics belong to LINGUISTICS (like
psycho-linguistics, socio-linguistics, etc) *or* EDUCATION (like educational
psychology, educational philosophy, etc)? What do *you* think?

As I said, no one should "chair" anything here so it's up to you to
contribute and discuss something related to educational linguistics if you
do care about furthering language and education studies.
