Invited Keynote
Stephanie Durrleman
Stephanie Durrleman heads the “ABCCD” team focusing on Autism, Bilingualism, Cogni
Her work explores language in a variety of populations: typical and atypical, monolingual and bilingual, children and adults. This research spans speakers of numerous languages (e.g. English, French, Creole, Catalan, Cantonese) and elucidates links between language and cognition, via experimental and corpus investigations, cross-sectional and longitudinal studies, giving rise to both theoretical and clinical applications.
Keith Horwood Memorial Lecture
The AFMLTA International Languages Conference includes the Keith Horwood Memorial Lecture as a key element to its program. The Keith Horwood Memorial Lecturer is an invited speaker who is an eminent person currently engaged in the field of languages education in Australia and is an Australian resident.
Keith Horwood was the foundational Organising Secretary of the AFMLTA Inc. With the support of the Horwood family, the National Assembly unanimously endorsed the introduction of the Keith Horwood Memorial Lecture as a fitting perpetual tribute to the memory of one of its earliest supporters. The lecture was inaugurated at the 2001 National Conference, held in Canberra.
