School awarded grant towards Language Planning Symposium

Dr Rhian Hodges and Dr Cynog Prys have been awarded a grant by the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol towards the School’s first ever Language Planning Symposium.

Entitled ‘Tu Hwnt i Addysg: Dyfodol Cynllunio Ieithyddol’ (‘Beyond Education: the Future of Language Planning), the symposium is due to be held at Bangor on 8^th March 2013. It is hoped that it will be attended by academics and language planning practitioners from Wales, Britain, Europe and around the world, with the symposium to have a central and all-important Welsh element.

“This is a crucial opportunity to nurture the interest of our undergraduate students on the Language Planning modules, as well as developing opportunities for the MA Language Policy and Planning and PhD students who are currently producing vital research in this area”, said Dr Rhian Hodges.
