A sign of a good conference is when you come away afresh, with new ideas & feeling more hopeful about the world. And after #BAAL2025 I do!!

It was a wonderful opportunity to be in Glasgow for #BAAL2025 — with many excellent presentations, valuable discussions, and a lovely environment.

Here are some pics:

The applied linguistics community came together in many ways at #BAAL2025, including AILA and BAAL at the start of the conference (just after first plenary). Picture shows L-R: Melanie van den Hoven, Caroline Tagg, Markus Bieswanger, Shameem Rafik-Galea, Alex Ho-Cheong Leung, Agnes He.

Thrilled to present at #BAAL2025, the biggest conference in Applied Linguistics!
