What a wonderful time indeed! #AILA2024

We're glad to have you here and to have had you as part of the symposium! As well as @naashia.bsky.social :)

Thank you so much Ingrid Piller (@languageonthemove.bsky.social) for sharing valuable insights on #multilingualism during your plenary & sessions at #AILA2024! We truly appreciate it! Looking forward to featuring more international voices in our "3 Questions for..." format

Day 5 of #AILA2024 was 2 weeks ago today. . .

Highlight: A brilliant symposium organized by Miriam Weidl & Samantha Goodchild with great talks from Colin Reilly, Tracey Costley, & Louise Rolland!

What fun–I loved reconnecting with & meeting new friends/colleagues!

So #AILA2024 was ages ago, BUT I haven't finished sharing! 🗣💬

Day 4:

☕️ I was lucky to meet Linda Nordenskjöld Narfström, a fellow researcher of language groups/cafes! Like when I met Nuria Polo-Pérez, it's inspiring to chat w/ like-minded researchers! 😍

🏞️ I also enjoyed KLCC's park!

❤️Claire Kramsch: After emigrating to US in 1963 I taught German to Americans. My students & I spoke the same tongue (English), but didn't share the same language/mentality (US vs. European)
I didn't understand them and they didn't understand me.

& Goethe and Schiller didn't help #AILA2024

Great team & insightful symposium! Thx @hmking-linguist.bsky.social for the organization! #AILA2024

💙#literacy is not neutral but a social practice arising out of delimited cultural needs and goals. As such, there can only be literacy by ignoring the ubiquity of literacies.

Gorgeous opening ceremony!

An interesting talk by Karen Forbes on #multilingualism in #UK secondary schools

Ingrid Piller reminding us just how little diversity there is in the field

Key takeaway?(applied) linguists are #WEIRD! 🗣💬
