Call Deadline: 11-Mar-2022 

Meeting Description:

This year’s LKALE SIG meeting explores how language variation and change can
be used to empower students in the classroom across a range of educational
contexts. Modern linguistics sees the relationships between spoken and written
language as well as standard language and language varieties as dynamic and
changeable. An awareness of such flexibility is essential to promote a useful
dialogue between creativity, appropriateness and convention in language. All
of which is important to teachers in supporting learners to become confident
and resourceful communicators.


Call for Papers:

We are delighted to announce that the following plenary speakers have
confirmed their participation:
 
Debra Myhill (University of Exeter)
David Waugh (Durham University)

We invite researchers, teachers, and educators to reflect on these matters and
propose posters, long (20 mins) or short (5-10 mins) practice- and
research-based talks that engage with the following questions:
  * How can knowledge about language variation and change be usefully deployed
to empower students in the classroom context?
 * What teaching and learning approaches can be used to develop students’
sensibility to linguistic appropriateness (as opposed to linguistic
correctness)?
  * How do teachers promote a balance of creativity, appropriateness and
convention in language use?

Abstracts should be sent to vgdiaz at liv.ac.uk and
Sally.Zacharias at glasgow.ac.uk. Please indicate whether your contribution is:
 * a long (20 mins) paper (abstract length: 300 words max)
* a short (5-10 mins) paper (abstract length: 150 words max)
* a poster presentation (abstract length: 300 words max)
