Meeting Description: 

Call for participants to funded workshop on: 
English as an ASEAN Lingua Franca: Implications for Language and Education
Policy and Practice

The research workshop aims to explore alternative perspectives to
understanding English based on Global Englishes and English as a lingua franca
research and the implications this has for language policy and classroom
practices. The workshop will allow established scholars and early career
researchers from Thailand and the UK to discuss work in this area and consider
more sustainable (economically and socially), locally relevant approaches to
language ideology, language policy, and language teaching, with the aim of
bringing about long-term changes in Thai education.

Under the Researcher Links scheme offered within the Newton Fund, the British
Council and Thailand Research Fund will be holding a workshop on the above
theme in Dusit Thani Bangkok on 8-11 January 2018. The workshop is being
coordinated by Professor Jennifer Jenkins and Assistant Professor Dr Navaporn
Snodin, and will have contributions from other leading researchers Associate
Professor Dr Will Baker, Assistant Professor Dr Montri Tangpijaikul, Associate
Professor Dr Julia Hüttner, and Dr Sanooch Segkhoonthod Nathalang. We are now
inviting Early Career Researchers, i.e. those within ten years of the award of
a PhD (being awarded a PhD after December 2007), based at UK or Thailand
Higher Education Institutions to apply to attend this workshop. Travel,
subsistence and accommodation expenses up to a maximum of 1,000 GBP (for UK
participants) and 5,000 Thai baht (for non-Bangkok-based Thai attendees) can
be reimbursed. For an application form and more details on the initiative
contact w.baker at soton.ac.uk (for UK applicants) and navaporn.s at ku.ac.th (for
Thai applicants). The deadline for applications is 15 October 2017.
