This is the homepage for the Forum on Englishes in Australia. The Forum provides a space to meet and discuss the use of Englishes (and English-based contact varieties) in Australia which is inclusive of all methodological and theoretical approaches.
We are back with a new venue again in 2026, now being hosted by the Centre for Higher Education Studies in South Yarra (and online). See the call for papers flyer --->
Anonymous abstracts due in by Friday the 19th of June and again we have our popular very short presentation and a standard format.
Save the date (and look out for emails if you are on our mailing list) -Friday 21st August 2026.
We welcome students, teachers, new researchers, established academics and anyone else who is interested in learning more about and discussing Englishes in Australia (from any perspective).
