The Association holds an annual conference, which alternates between a Francophone country and the UK. If you would be interested in organizing and hosting a future conference, please contact AFLS President Martin Howard.
2021 Annual Conference
25 June 2021
'Le français aujourd'hui, entre discours et usages'
Due to the pandemic circumstances, the conference will take place in online format on 25 June 2021. The conference replaces that which was planned to take place in Brussels in 2020 but which had to be cancelled. We are very grateful to the presenters for accepting to contribute to the conference this year in online format. We also thank Carole Etienne (ENS Lyon) who has accepted to deliver a plenary talk.
Please register on the AFLS 2021 conference website, where presentations are already available to view ahead of the round table discussions which will take place live on 25 June.
