Edling -- The Educational Linguistics List
About Edling	English (USA)
Founded in the summer of 2003, the purpose of Edling-L is to provide an international forum for students, faculty, and practitioners to discuss research, current issues, and trends in educational linguistics. The scope of educational linguistics has been seen variously as the interface of linguistics and education, as the interdisciplinary study of language in education, and more recently as an ecological transdisciplinary approach to language-related issues in educational settings (Hornberger, 2001; Hornberger & Hult, 2006; Leather & van Dam, 2003; Spolsky, 1978; Spolsky & Hult, 2008; Stubbs, 1986; van Lier, 1994). With this in mind, Edling-L serves as a venue for open discussion among all scholars studying language issues in both formal and informal education, regardless of how they theorize educational linguistics. Edling-L members are encouraged to engage in lively conversation on research ideas and concerns in addition to sharing information about upcoming conferences and research meetings, calls for papers, publication releases, research resources, bibliographic information, stories of language in education from popular media, and other matters of interest.
