The Applied Linguistics Conference 2019 Applied Linguistics and Language Teaching: Making Connections CONFERENCE HANDBOOK 25 – 27 November 2019 Curtin University, Perth, Western Australia Applied Linguistics and Language Teaching: Making Connections 2 The Applied Linguistics Conference 2019 Welcome to ALAA 2019 Kaya! Welcome to our combined ALAA, ALANZ and ALTANZ conference. It is very exciting to have so many visitors to Perth and to our School of Education here at Curtin University. People have travelled from around Australia, New Zealand, and many parts of Asia, America and Europe to attend this conference, which is being held on the traditional land of the Whadjuk, Noongar people. These first nation people have made and continue to make an important contribution to our society and, of particular relevance to this conference, to our linguistic environment. Therefore, I would like to begin by acknowledging them and their elders past, present, and emerging. Like me, a number of people attending this conference began their careers as language teachers. Others may have come to the field of Applied Linguistics and Language Testing by other routes, but have provided input to language teachers or, at the very least, input about language to educators during their working lives. It is for this reason that the conference committee chose the theme Applied Linguistics and Language Teaching: Making Connections. We felt that although we may be interested in a range of research areas, it is this nexus between our field and teaching that was worthy of exploration. We hope you are all able to make these connections, too. We also hope you meet, interact, and make connections with many delegates during the conference. For a number of you this might be your first visit to Perth, but even if you are returning for another visit, please take the opportunity to explore our beautiful city. Make time to visit our cultural precinct in the centre of the city and the restaurants in nearby Northbridge offering a diverse range of cuisine, do try and spend some time in Kings Park or on the banks of the Swan River and make your way to Fremantle. If time allows, also see if you can visit our famous white-sand beaches, the Swan Valley and further afield to the Margaret River wine region. I sincerely hope you enjoy your time both at the conference and in Perth. Last but not least, we are very grateful to Curtin University for the tremendous support it has provided as host and to the Conference Sponsors, all student volunteers and the organizing committee (Sender Dovchin, Craig Lambert and Jingwen Wu), who together have done an excellent job at bringing what we hope is an engaging program together.
