    Meeting Description:

    Language and Society conference to be held at Massey University, Palmerston North Campus, New Zealand, September 2-3, 2004, to be followed by the ALANZ (Applied Linguistics Association of New Zealand) symposium on September 4

    As always, the conference invites papers on all areas of language and society, this year we are especially interested in papers in the areas of New Zealand English and community language issues. If there is enough interest we are hoping to set some time aside for a colloquium on the state of research in these areas. We also encourage graduate students to make presentations on their research.

    To this end we invite you to send abstracts for papers (20 minutes plus 10 minute question time) and student presentations (15 mins + 5 min question time) to Martin Paviour-Smith

    M Paviour-Smith Linguistics and Second Language Teaching School of Language Studies Massey University Private Bag 11 222 Palmerston North New Zealand or m.paviour-smithmassey.ac.nz

    The ALANZ symposium on September 4 will focus on Internationalisation and language issues. This includes the following themes. New Zealand as an international learning setting Online learning and communication across cultures Migration and settlement issues Language policy Globalisation and language education

    We do stress however that papers on other areas of applied research will be considered. As with the Language and Society conference, we strongly encourage papers from graduates and new researchers. Abstracts (200 word limit) to be sent to M Paviour-Smith at the addresses above by July 6.
