Anéla Conferentie Toegepaste Taalwetenschap 2024: Applied Linguistics across boundaries
In this edition, we want to unite researchers across disciplinary and national boundaries. Anéla is the association of Dutch and Belgian applied linguists, and serves as a meeting place and breeding ground for collaborations between universities, regions and disciplines. This edition wants to foster this alliance by not just offering presentations and posters, but by also organising activities to get to know fellow researchers, and to set up collaborations.
This edition’s keynotes will be presented by dr. Mieke Vandenbroucke (Universiteit Antwerpen) and dr. Bart Deygers (Ghent University).
