As always, the Autumn/Winter issue of the BAAL Newsletter is a feature-packed one; so much so, in fact that I will not even try to summarise everything contained within these pages. Instead, I would simply like to draw your attention to the fact that this issue contains the inaugural report of incoming BAAL chair Guy Cook. Guy begins by rightly praising his predecessor, Susan Hunston, for the energy and commitment that she brought to her role, and for her many and various achievements as chair for the period 2006 – 2009. -
Conference Handbook
7th New Zealand Discourse Conference Massey University, Wellington 3-6 December, 2019 Conference Handbook Conference Committee Dr. Tony Fisher, Massey University Dr. Julia De Bres, Massey University Dr. Emily Greenback, Victoria University of Wellington Dr. Shelly Dawson, Victoria University of Wellington Dr. Jesse Pirini, Victoria University of Wellington About the NZ Discourse Conference The New Zealand Discourse Conference was initiated by Professor Allan bell and Dr Philippa Smith at the Auckland University of technology in 2007. Over the next decade the conference was hosted by AUT every two years, where it quickly grew in popularity becoming a major event in the international linguistics calendar. In 2017, it was decided that the conference would no longer be tied to a single institution, but would instead be hosted at a different NZ university every two years. Massey in Wellington has the privilege of being the first university after AUT to host the NZ discourse conference. The conference boasts an impressive array of past plenary speakers, including Margaret Wetherell, Alison Lee (2007), and Alan Bell (2007, 2013), Sigrid Norris (2007, 2017), Rick Iedema, Cynthia Hardey and David Grant (2009), Teun van Dijk and Monica Heller (2011), Cindy Gallios and Adam Jaworsky (2013), Ruth Wodak, Bob Hodge and Donal Matheson (2015), Michael Bamberg, David Barton and Theo van Leeuwen (2017). In 2019 we are delighted to host plenary talks by Paul Baker, Brian W. King and Janet Holmes – all of whom address the conference for the first time. In 2021, the New Zealand Discourse Conference continues its journey south to be hosted by Canterbury University in Christchurch. -

Introduction This short historical pamphlet has been produced on behalf of the Executive Committee to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the British Association for Applied Linguistics (BAAL). Rosamond Mitchell wrote the original history in 1997, and Greg Myers updated it in 2017, following her model. Our aim was to document key steps and events in the development of the Association, and the major issues which have preoccupied it over five decades. We felt this would be helpful to the membership both in maintaining a collective memory, in promoting a positive understanding of BAAL’s achievements to date, and in evaluating possible future directions for the Association. The production of the pamphlet was complicated by the fact that BAAL records are somewhat incomplete, particularly for the early years.
