This year’s annual BAAL Language, Gender and Sexuality SIG event is focussed on the connection between the notion of affect and the field of language, gender and sexuality. Affect in this context is defined in multiple ways, including:

- emotions, feelings and intensity of response as the object of research
- investigations into the way language affects people and the social world around us (i.e. language as a driving force for social change)
- affectations in expressions of identity

The keynote speakers at this event will be:
- Dr Daniel Edmondson – Lecturer in Applied Linguistics at York St John University
- This year’s Judith Baxter award winner – to be announced early 2026

The IV TROPO UK Conference, hosted by the University of Southampton, focuses on the impact of digital technologies and artificial intelligence on Portuguese language education.

The conference will examine how AI and digital tools are transforming teaching and learning practices, raising new questions about authorship, academic integrity, assessment, and feedback. It will also address the ethical dimensions of technology use in education, the development of critical thinking and AI literacy, and innovative pedagogical approaches that integrate digital media and the arts into language learning.  

Participants can expect to gain practical and research-informed insights into how AI can be integrated responsibly and effectively into language education.

The event offers an opportunity to deepen understanding of ethical and critical approaches to digital pedagogy, exchange ideas with fellow educators and researchers, and engage in meaningful dialogue about current challenges and opportunities in the field.

Attendees will also benefit from professional networking and potential collaboration with colleagues working across Portuguese language education and applied linguistics.
