Call Deadline: 31-Mar-2020 

Meeting Description:

BAAL 2020 will be held at Northumbria University, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK. Our
theme, 'Challenges and Opportunities in Applied Linguistics', aims to open up
space for discussion of the future of our discipline and its contribution to
the world around us. In what are perhaps both turbulent and challenging, but
also thought-provoking and motivating, times we hope the conference theme will
encourage proposals from across the field, and that conference papers,
discussions and networking will enable cross-disciplinary connections to form.
The interests of our local organising committee itself, for example, range
from language teaching and learning to forensic linguistics, from language
policy to teacher development, and from cognitive linguistics to language and
migration; and we hope that BAAL 2020 deals with challenges and debates in
these areas and many more.

The BAAL 2020 Conference is hosted by English Language and Linguistics in the
Department of Humanities of Northumbria University, located in the centre of
Newcastle upon Tyne. A city of character, charm and culture, Newcastle brings
together industrial heritage, iconic river bridges, and a love of football
alongside classical Georgian architecture, a world famous cultural and
nightlife, and strong sense of local identity. Located only 9 miles from the
sea (a 20 minute journey on the local Metro railway), and an hour from
Scotland and the Lake District, Newcastle is easily accessible by rail, road
and air from within the UK and beyond;  Newcastle airport is just 25 minutes
from the city centre by public transport.
