ALANZ invites 2016 Masters and PhD graduates who have completed and passed their thesis to enter the Best Thesis competition.

Each institution will nominate their best Masters thesis (i.e. MA by thesis) and best PhD thesis and forward them to the ALANZ Executive. A panel of judges from universities in NZ will decide on the 2016 winners.

The winners will receive an ALANZ membership for one year, and a book voucher. The winners will also be asked to submit an article to New Zealand Studies in Applied Linguistics.

5. The ALANZ Executive will announce the winner:

• By writing to the winner and the institution’s contact person

Location:          City campus, Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand
Dates:              27 – 29 November 2017

Conference theme

“Applied Linguistics in the New Millennium: Multiple Theories, Pathways, and Practices”

The theme aims to be inclusive of the breadth of the field of applied linguistics. As applied linguists, we’re interested in language learning, language teaching, and how people use language to express their relationship to the world. We’re also interested in issues of identity, in creating corpora, in language policy, just to name a few. What unites us, however, is our interest in researching language-related problems in the real world.
