ASFLA Annual Conference 2009
Kelvin Grove, Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane
September 30 - October 2, 2009
A dedicated conference website with detailed information and a registration facility is now available at http://www.meanjin.edu.au/asfla
With a Pre-Conference Institute for teachers and other interested parties September 28 - 29

Theme: Practising Theory: Expanding understandings of Language, Literature and Literacy
-
The theme is designed to be at once both focused and general. The inclusion of ‘Language, Literature and Literacy’ is a deliberate reference to the three elements proposed for the National English Curriculum about to be developed in Australia. With appropriately broad definitions, it is hoped that these will also be able to encompass any work currently being done in, or using, SFL.
-
Within this theme the program will be organized around the three strands of school, workplace and community. The first day of the conference will have a particular focus on SFL in school teaching but it is intended that all three strands will be evident each day.

Co-convenors: Garry Collins (gazco48 “at” bigpond.net.au), Dr Beryl Exley (b.exley “at” qut.edu.au)

We look forward to welcoming you to the River City this September.
