Conference Themes

  1. Language Assessment focuses on language assessment for children growing up in multilingual societies, how to develop language assessments for multilingual populations across the lifespan, and will also focus on the impact of bilingualism/multilingualism on cognitive function.

  2. Reading and Writing across the lifespan focuses on multilingualism in and outside of the classroom, and will address issues of individual variability in bilinguals/multilinguals across the lifespan.

  3. Language Acquisition and Attrition focuses on how language develops in children and adults growing up/living in multilingual societies, how they maintain the languages they speak, under which conditions we see effects of language attrition, and how language declines as a result of a stroke or dementia. It will also include talks on methods for the documentation of indigenous languages.
