BAAL is pleased to announce that financial support from Routledge and BAAL will be available for one research development workshop in 2018. The workshop will offer training in, or focused discussion of, applied linguistics methods, approaches or fields of investigation to new researchers, including postgraduate students, postdoctoral researchers, early career researchers, and anyone embarking on a new line of research. We are now inviting proposals for the 2018 workshops to be submitted to Li Li (li.li@exeter.ac.uk ) by 28 February 2018
