Anglia Ruskin has been successful in its bid to host the 2016 annual conference of the British Association for Applied Linguistics (BAAL).

BAAL is a professional association set up in 1967 to provide a forum for people interested in language and applied linguistics. Its annual conference is a highly prestigious event attended by some 300-400 people from all over the world. It was previously hosted by Anglia Ruskin in 2000.

The 2016 conference will be organised by Dr Sebastian Rasinger (Course Leader, MA Applied Linguistics) and Dr Bettina Beinhoff (Lecturer, Applied Linguistics and English Language). The planning process will begin this summer, and updates will appear on this website as they become available.

Congratulations go to all those involved in the successful bid.
