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鈥檚 first ever Language Planning Symposium.

Entitled 鈥楾u Hwnt i Addysg: Dyfodol Cynllunio Ieithyddol鈥� (鈥楤eyond Education: the Future of Language Planning), the symposium is due to be held at 黑料不打烊 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.

鈥淭his 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鈥�, said Dr Rhian Hodges.
