Welcome to Eduling
EduLing stands for Educational Linguistics and it is a SIG-Special Interest Group of ARLE, the International Association for Research in L1 Education (former IAIMTE, International Association for the Improvement of Mother Tongue Education).
ARLE welcomes researchers, teachers, teacher educators and subject methodology teachers involved in the teaching of all aspects of L1 teaching, including language and literature. Join the association for free and participate in conferences, book publications, newsletters and the research journal L1 - Educational Studies in Language and Literature to exchange the experiences and to learn from other educational cultures.

EduLing members come from different backgrounds but we all consider well worth turning language into an object to reflect upon when teaching it

Adopting a reflexive approach towards language education unpacks similar challenges beyond local idiosyncrasies

Sharing local idiosyncrasies will let us enrich our vision of language education and mapping in a clearer way the international territory
EduLing is a community of practice, reflection, and theory building with academic encounters sustained overtime.
SIG EduLing History and Mission
At IAIMTE 8 conference in Hildesheim 2011 Maria van der Aalsvoort from the Netherlands started to form the Special Interest Group in Linguistics and Language Awareness that would become the SIG Educational Linguistics in 2013. In the meantime, Caroline Doktar from Finland contacted her to help as a coordinator. Then the SIG had two invited symposia: at IAIMTE 9 conference in Paris 2013 and IAIMTE-ARLE 10 conference in Odense 2015. Paulo Feytor Pinto from Portugal helped out organizing the Odense symposium and replaced Maria van der Aaslvoort as SIG co-coordinator in 2015. The year before everybody was invited to a SIG Seminar in Estonia organized by Krista Kerge. We can say now that SIG Eduling activities are well established as hailstgones in our academic calendar. SIG Educational Linguistics aims to organize symposia at ARLE conferences, one small scale seminar the year between these conferences and papers and/or special issues for L1 journal.
