These challenges have both foreseen and unforeseen consequences for the development and implementation of language education policy, and for teaching, learning and assessment practices. We invite papers and posters which make a contribution to understanding the issues which arise in the pre-school, school, and university language curriculum, in community-based and online learning and teaching contexts, and in the evaluation and management processes which shape language education experiences.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Confirmed plenary<\/strong><strong>\u00a0speakers:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dur.ac.uk\/directory\/profile\/?id=8584\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dr Prue Holmes<\/a>, University of Durham<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/warwick.ac.uk\/fac\/soc\/al\/people\/liddicoat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Professor Tony Liddicoat<\/a>, University of Warwick<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/iris.ucl.ac.uk\/iris\/browse\/profile?upi=JGRAY79\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dr John Gray<\/a>, UCL Institute of Education<\/p>\n<p>Questions and enquiries can be sent to Erin Forward:\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:E.M.Forward@soton.ac.uk\">E.M.Forward@soton.ac.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>We are looking forward to welcoming you in Southampton,<\/p>\n<p>The conference organisers:<\/p>\n<p>Richard Kiely, Julia Huettner &amp; Erin Forward<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.southampton.ac.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.eurocall2017.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/UOS-50.png\" \/><\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0<strong><a style=\"color: #9538c5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.southampton.ac.uk\/cllear\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-111\" src=\"http:\/\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/baallltsig2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/240\/2017\/11\/cllear.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"199\" height=\"54\" \/>\u00a0 <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/baal.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-110\" src=\"http:\/\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/baallltsig2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/240\/2017\/11\/baal-300x131.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"153\" height=\"67\" srcset=\"https:\/\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/baallltsig2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/240\/2017\/11\/baal-300x131.jpg 300w, https:\/\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/baallltsig2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/240\/2017\/11\/baal.jpg 401w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 153px) 100vw, 153px\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The department of\u00a0Modern Languages and Linguistics is pleased to host the\u00a014th BAAL Language Learning and Teaching SIG conference at the University of Southampton on\u00a0Thursday 12th and Friday 13th July 2018.
