PALA Ped-Sig II: Mission Statement
The core aim of the PALA Ped-Sig II group is to keep all aspects of pedagogical stylistics, including rhetoric and related subjects, at the forefront of Pala research activities primarily through producing quality research that is inextricably linked to our teaching and learning processes and practices, but also through interacting with pedagogy specialists in other fields and by regular live and online discussion within the group.
Pedagogical Stylistics Conference
A conference on Pedagogical Stylistics will be held at the Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest, Hungary on the 19th & 20th April 2010. The PALA PED-SIG II invites abstracts for oral presentations and workshops in the field of pedagogical stylistics. Abstracts of up to 300 words are to be submitted before 1st December 2009. Plenary speakers will be Michael Burke (Roosevelt Academy, Middelburg) and Dan McIntyre (University of Huddersfield).
