A social programme will be available on the Saturday for all who wish to stay overnight. Call for Papers: This is a one day-conference for students of the English Language who wish to share knowledge on the subject and are interested in meeting fellow students from other institutions.

There will also be post-conference activities on the Saturday for those who wish to stay overnight. According to the English Language Subject Benchmark Statement, students on an English Language programme study: ..the linguistic system underlying English, as well as language in use and the relationship between language and context, the society and the individual. They typically study both written and spoken language, with multimodal texts also a focus on some programmes. English may be studied in its cultural, contemporary and historical background; it may be related to literary texts, everyday discourse, and the structure of languages other than English. Descriptive analysis will be combined with more critical and theoretical work which develops students' understanding of texts and/or language systems. (Hudson et al. 2011:3) Papers (15 min) and posters on any topic relating to the above are welcome. Group presentations are also possible. Please send paper proposals and any further questions that you may have to carolin.esser-mileswinchester.ac.uk.
