This symposium will focus on innovative translanguaging strategies in the classroom, emphasizing practical classroom applications and teacher-driven methodologies. Educators, curriculum developers, and policymakers will share real-world experiences, exploring how translanguaging can enhance teaching and learning in multilingual contexts. The event will feature hands-on workshops and live lesson demonstrations, giving participants the opportunity to engage directly with tools a
This book is written as a sequel to Sampson's textbook "Schools of Linguistics", which has been translated into several foreign languages.
Since the publication of that book, the internet and cheap air travel have globalized scholarship. Consequently, developments in linguistics no longer happen in geographically-separate "schools", such as the Prague School or the London School of the twentieth century. Instead, the state of play in linguistics today is best portrayed through a sampler illus

How do texts of Scripture make sense or hold together as a unity? This question is especially germane to the Masoretic Text of Hosea, which is often seen as an unintegrated composition by some, or an artful literary whole by others. Such judgments often come without clear definitions and criteria for (in)coherence. This book brings descriptive clarity to this issue through a discourse analysis of cohesion and coherence in Hosea 12鈥�14 based on Systemic Functional Linguistics. This study showcases
This edited volume is a collection of studies guided by theoretical and practical interdisciplinary approaches to family and school involvement in multilingual education and heritage language development featuring contributors with expertise in applied linguistics, sociolinguistics, language policy and education. The authors of this volume discuss multilingualism and multiculturalism in various geographical areas, settings, and levels of education, from a theoretical and practical point of view.

The shared task provides an opportunity for the research community to creatively utilize LLMs for subject tagging of technical records. Systems
TITLE: The Linguistic Landscape of Higher Education Internationalization
The goal of the current edited volume therefore is to explore how higher education institutions across various
geographical contexts adopt and integrate the English language to achieve successful internationalization. It seeks to
examine stakeholders' expectations and the realities of internationalization, focusing on language policies, local cultures,
digital advancements, and legal and ethical dimensions. By doing so, it
The emergence, rapid advancement, and utilization of GAI technologies in academia have given rise to interesting and controversial discourses across a wide range of disciplines and domains. Similarly, in the field of English for Research Publication Purposes in particular, these new dynamics have aroused both high hopes and serious concerns regarding the use of such technologies in scientific research and writing for scholarly publication. Consequently, there is an urgent need to explore and con

Neue Technologien haben den Sprachgebrauch und Kommunikationsgewohnheiten im Laufe der Zeit grundlegend ver盲ndert. Dies liegt daran, dass sprachliche Zeichen meistens technisch-medial hergestellt, vermittelt und rezipiert werden. Dies ist eines der Postulate der Medienlinguistik, f眉r die alle Linguistik Medienlinguistik sein sollte (Schmitz 2018: 34). Im 21. Jahrhundert l盲sst sich diese sprachlich-kommunikative Entwicklung durch neue Technologien beobachten: Kommunikation wird

A call for social justice in the linguistic arena is not new since Charity Hudley (2008) proposed that researchers became instruments of social change. Many applied linguistics have then dedicated their studies to explore how their research can help minority groups resist and contest the 鈥渋nvented鈥� homogeneity (Piller, 2016). Social justice is a necessary reason to reconsider our own perceptions about linguistic diversity and how to avoid the reproduction of marginalization and
