Meeting Description:

HoLLTnet symposium on ‘Colonialism and the History of Language
Learning and Teaching’ at the AILA 2024 conference in Kuala Lumpur,
Malaysia, 11–16 August 2024 (https://aila2024.com/)

Call for Papers:

What part have the teaching and learning of languages played in
European colonial ventures in the Americas, Africa, Asia and Oceania,
or in other cases of colonialism? To what extent did colonisers and
colonised learn one another’s languages, through what methods and in
what venues? In what ways is the ‘mastery’ of indigenous languages by
colonisers linked to the drive to ‘master’ people and resources
generally? And to what extent, where and why have particular languages
been favoured educationally, learned informally or been denied. and
demonized in colonial settings?
Much previous work in the field of History of Language Learning and
Teaching has had a Eurocentric and relatively inward-looking bias
(McLelland & Smith 2018, 11) but a major, developing aspiration of the
HoLLTnet AILA Research Network is to encourage the development of
research into traditions of language learning and teaching beyond
Europe, into colonial encounters involving language learning and
teaching, and into colonial biases within language learning and
teaching historiography. Accordingly, we invite abstract proposals for
the above symposium, with a deadline of 15 September 2023.

To be considered for inclusion in the symposium, you should send your
title, name and affiliation and abstract of no more than 300 words by
15 September 2023 at the latest to: r.mairs at reading.ac.uk and
R.C.Smith at warwick.ac.uk. We aim to complete peer review / selection
and inform you of the result within a week, to enable you to submit
your paper separately for consideration by the conference organizers
if necessary.

Abstracts must:
- Be no more than 300 words long not including any references,
accompanied by a
maximum of 6 keywords.
- Relate directly to the teaching and/or learning of languages, not
just to colonial or
missionary linguistics.
- Include the purpose of the study, methodology / primary data sources
consulted, summary of findings/results, and indication of the
significance / contributions of study.
- Be formatted in 12 point Times New Roman.
- Include the author’s name, affiliation, address, telephone or fax
number, and email
address.
- Be written in English or Malay (Malay abstracts should include an
English translation)
- Be submitted in MS Word format (DOC or DOCX)

Further information about the congress is below. Please note the
conference will be hybrid but primarily place-based/onsite in Kuala
Lumpur. Authors of accepted abstracts must undertake to register to
attend the AILA conference, either in person or online.
