The event will have contributions from the community of PGRs and staff in Leeds Language Centre and the School of Languages, Cultures and Societies (LCS). Student reps will also be invited to give their perspectives on how the everyday register is/can be integrated in HE language programmes.

The event will start with a welcome talk by Professor Emma Cayley (Head of LCS) and Dr Yolanda Cerdá (Director of Language Centre).
