After
Cardiff in 2011, Sydney in 2012 and Kuala Lumpur in 2013, the
University of Geneva will host the 4th International conference on
Applied Linguistics and Professional Practice.
The
conference aims to bring together scholars from different disciplinary
backgrounds, especially language and communication research, and
professional specialities (e.g., healthcare, social care, therapy, law,
mediation, management, business, journalism, education). It encourages
research and reflection developing interdisciplinarity, methodological
diversity, inter-professional collaboration and explores the relations
between language use and social practices taking place in institutional
and organisational contexts. A special emphasis will be on
cross-boundary collaboration and translation of research findings to
ensure impact. For this 2014 ALAPP conference, a special attention will
be dedicated to the topic of Learning through and for professional practice.
Individual papers, posters and thematic symposia can be submitted in English and French through the conference website (http://www.unige.ch/alapp2014)
