The great event has recently come to an end. We would like to thank all participants and look forward to seeing you again. The 17th International Conference of the Association for Language Awareness will take place in as the 30th Anniversary Congress from 7 July to 10 July at Karlsruhe University of Education, Germany alaconference Due to the inherent multilingual and multicultural nature of many classrooms around the world in very often monolingual and monocultural settings and contexts, the role of which language to use, to teach and to learn has re-gained new and important relevance.
This issue is directly related to the issue of power and ideology. It is therefore time to have a closer look at the intricate interplay of factors contributing to the relationship of language, education, and power and to discuss these issues in depth. The ALA conference will offer symposia, workshops, roundtables, paper presentations, and poster presentations and accept proposals related to Language, Education, and Power in the following areas:.
We expect stimulating presentations and engaged on-site discussions by scholars and attendees from around the world. During the pandemic, we were able to offer high-standard digital ALA conferences in and in We are, however, very happy that we can now fully return to a face-to-face conference which will facilitate networking and team building.
A special focus will also be put on building a network between early-career researchers and connecting them with more advanced scholars.
