CHANGING PERSPECTIVES IN LANGUAGE RESEARCH
20-21 June 2002, University of Stirling Management Centre
Call for Papers (Deadline 28 February 2002)
Language research today displays great diversity in theme, approach and
context. Language researchers are ideally placed to make a vital
contribution to current debates on social, cultural and linguistic diversity
and the challenges of the information revolution. However, there is a risk
of fragmentation, which means the impact of this research could become lost
in a broader public and political context. What role can we play in shaping
ideas and integrating policy and practice? What research should we be
undertaking? How can we be more effective? How can we promote language
research? This conference brings together researchers from a range of
language-related disciplines to debate these issues and work towards
developing a common agenda.
The conference is organised by Scottish CILT under the auspices of the
SHEFC-funded SCOTLANG project whose aim is to develop the infrastructure for
research into languages issues in Scotland.
We welcome contributions on recent or current language research projects in
the fields of
modern languages
community and heritage languages (including BSL)
education
English language teaching
culture and media studies
business and management
communication studies
applied linguistics
language and society
Format
Paper presentations: 20 minutes for presentation followed by 10 minutes
discussion. Contributions must be original. A selection of papers from the
conference will be published.
Proposals of 200 words in length and including contact details for the first
named presenter should be submitted electronically to Dr Jean E Conacher:
