LKALE SIG Event 2023

LKALE SIG Event 2023

19th May 2023, Cardiff University

The 2023 Linguistics and Knowledge About Language in Education (LKALE) SIG meeting will be held at the Centre for Language and Communication Research at Cardiff University on Friday 19th May 2023. This will be a face-to-face event.

We are delighted to announce that the following keynote speakers have confirmed their participation:

Dr Arlene Holmes-Henderson (Durham University)

Professor David Egan (Cardiff Metropolitan University)

The topic of this year’s meeting is Developing explicit knowledge of literacy and oracy skills.

This event would bring together researchers, education practitioners and policy advisors to consider the role of explicit knowledge about language in the development of literacy and oracy skills. The symposium would explore multiple perspectives, including:

  • The knowledge educators require to develop their own, and learners’, literacy and oracy skills
  • The knowledge learners require to develop their own literacy and oracy skills
  • The role of curricula, policy researchers/advisors, and language course providers in supporting both educators’ and learners’ literacy and oracy skills development
  • The role of teacher training bodies and charities in supporting the development of teachers’ and learners’ literacy and oracy skills
  • The similarities and differences in the knowledge required across different educational contexts (i.e., early years, primary, secondary, tertiary etc.) and across the curriculum (e.g., mathematics, music, foreign languages etc.)

The symposium would support discussion about any language, not just English, and be interested to explore bi/multilingual perspectives and additional language learning, as well as first language acquisition.

Proposal deadline: 12th April 2023

For more information and to submit your proposal, please click here.

We look forward to seeing you in Cardiff!
