Dear colleagues,

 

We are delighted to invite you to the Language Policy Forum 2018, taking place on Thursday 31 May and Friday 1 June 2018, at Sheffield Hallam University, UK.

 

The two-day conference forms part of our recently launched BAAL (British Association for Applied Linguistics) Language Policy special interest group (http://www.langpol.ac.uk), and our theme will be 'Language policy in the age of diversity: Dilemmas and hopes'. Our plenary speakers will be Prof. Marilyn Martin-Jones (University of Birmingham) and Prof. Tony Liddicoat (University of Warwick).

 

This is a low-fee conference (no fee at all for a range of people with limited means), aiming for maximum inclusivity. For more information on the conference, including venue, registration, and fees, please visit http://www.langpol.ac.uk/view/langpol/events/2018-lpforum 

 

We look forward to discussing language policy with you in Sheffield. And please pass this on widely in your own networks and to anyone you think may be interested!

 

All the best,

 

Elisabeth Barakos and Florence Bonacina-Pugh (on behalf of the committee)
