The Association for Language Awareness (ALA) aims at supporting and promoting activities across the whole range of Language Awareness. These are conducted in different fields of Language Awareness (e.g. L1/L2/Ln learning, foreign language learning, teacher education, language use in professional settings), at a variety of levels (e.g. primary, secondary and tertiary education, professional training and practice), and with objectives in a range of domains (e.g. effects on language performance, on attitudes to language etc). We define Language Awareness as explicit knowledge about language, as well as conscious perception and sensitivity in language learning, language teaching, and language use. The ALA pursues this goal in a variety of ways: for example, by collecting and disseminating information on Language Awareness initiatives, by promoting research into Language Awareness, by supporting initiatives undertaken by organisations with overlapping interests (e.g AILA), and by arranging conferences and meetings for practitioners and theorists in all spheres of teaching and learning, as well as for others with interests in Language Awareness. The ALA 2024 international conference, which will celebrate 30 years of the Association for Language Awareness, welcomes proposals for paper and poster presentations, symposia, and workshops related to Language Awareness, Education, and Power in the following areas: 1. Language Awareness in Language Education 2. Language Awareness and Global Citizenship 3. Language Awareness and Digital/Social Media 4. Language Awareness and the Workplace 5. Language Awareness and Artificial Intelligence (AI) 6. Critical Language Awareness: Decoloniality, Gender
