Conference for Teachers of A Level English Language

Linguistics and English Language department, Lancaster University

21 June 2013

We are delighted to announce that the next conference for teachers of A Level English Language will take place on Friday 21st June 2013 at Lancaster University, 9.30-4.30, organised by the Linguistics and English Language Department. 

Speakers from the Department will present research and discuss issues relevant to A-level English Language. Topics covered will include language acquisition, language variation and change, impoliteness, grammar, and paperwork in the educational workplace; a full programme will be posted soon. There will be opportunities for discussion and networking with staff of the department and with colleagues.

The day is not narrowly restricted to any one A Level syllabus, but should provide useful material on cutting edge research which can be incorporated into A Level English Language teaching across the board.
