Meeting Description:

The 49th Annual Meeting of the British Association for Applied Linguistics
will be hosted by Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge on 1–3 September 2016.

Conference theme:  Taking stock of Applied Linguistics – Where are we now?

At the time of the Annual Meeting of BAAL in 2016 we will be one and a half
decades into the new millennium. The new millennium brought many trends and
changes in applied linguistics, for example the increasing use of
interdisciplinary approaches in the field, interest in corpus-based studies,
the use of new media as data sources and as new environments of communication
– which in turn developed new ways of communicating and influenced language.
At the same time, processes that have started in the old millennium are
continuing to develop and influence the field, such as globalisation,
migration and its implications on how languages are used. Looking at the past
and present, and understanding the developments of the field, will enable us
to move confidently into the future, and to continue to make valuable
contributions to society.

Ingrid Piller (Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia)
Devyani Sharma (Queen Mary University of London, UK)
Jean-Marc Dewaele (Birkbeck, University of London, UK)
