Fifteenth Bonn Applied English Linguistics Conference (BAELc15)

Each year, the Bonn Applied English Linguistics group hosts a conference aimed specifically at postgraduate, PhD, and post-doc students. This conference allows young linguists to showcase their empirical research projects in all areas of Applied Linguistics broadly defined. BAELc15 is a great opportunity to learn from each other, get feedback on your work and network with other researchers in the field.

This year’s conference will focus on learner corpora, while maintaining its interdisciplinary orientation and openness to innovative topics across applied linguistics, alongside a specialized workshop dedicated to learner corpus research (see CfP below).

The 15th iteration of the BAEL conference will take place on Thursday, July 16th and Saturday, July 18th, 2026. The conference location is the IMPULSE – House for Intellectual Innovation and Creativity.
