Conference

The International Association for World Englishes (IAWE) is an international scholarly association which aims to establish links among those who are involved with any aspect of world Englishes in research and/or teaching. The Association, formally established in May 1992, focuses on global issues relating to three major aspects of world Englishes: language, literature, and pedagogy. It is committed to the study of Englishes in diverse cultural and sociolinguistic contexts, and has promoted research and teaching on English worldwide from an inclusive perspective that has highlighted the role of English in multilingual societies.
