The aim of the conference is to give all delegates the opportunity to engage in new ideas, new theories, new practices and programmes, and new research in all areas of applied linguistics. This is the first call for presentations which will provide African and/or international perspectives on new developments in applied linguistics. Through these explorations, we hope to make a significant contribution to thinking about and doing Applied Linguistics.
