Winchester English Language Conference
Registration is now open!
About the Conference
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. We invite students in their second or third year of the BA, or at Master level to present papers or posters, and all students from sixth-form to Masters as delegates. 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.
