<h5 style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-weight:normal">The Language Policy Research Network (LPREN) is soliciting submissions for an LPREN-facilitated colloquium for the American Association of Applied Linguistics (AAAL) in Dallas, TX, March 16-19, 2013. </span><u></u><u></u></h5>
<h5><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-weight:normal">The AAAL conference theme is <i>Applied Linguistics in a globalizing world, </i>and the proposed colloquium theme is </span><span style="font-size:12.0pt" lang="PT-BR">Language politics in global perspective: International, national and local policies in practice. </span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-weight:normal" lang="PT-BR">Dr. Terrence Wiley will serve as the colloquium discussant.<u></u><u></u></span></h5>
<h5><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-weight:normal" lang="PT-BR">Attempts to manage or plan language use occur locally as well as globally, and are characterized by reciprocal influences between local actors and global processes (Canagarajah, 2005; Menken & García, 2010). In order to understand language policy and planning in today’s world, and potentially improve its outcomes, it is helpful to consider interdisciplinary and international perspectives on language policy at all levels of governance, from international declarations to institutional protocols, as well as ground level policy-in-practice in families, community organizations, and the marketplace. This colloquium aims to bring together diverse perspectives on language politics, including papers that explore specific policies, as well as the influences of policies on language practices, and relations between local and global trends in language use. We welcome abstracts from different locales, and drawing upon research in different disciplines.<u></u><u></u></span></h5>
