This inaugural event of the newly founded German Language Association will introduce the Association and its partners (e.g. DAAD, Goethe, and other institutions.) and provide opportunities to network with the aim of supporting German language teaching at Higher and Further Education Institutions in the UK. 

We will start the day with a keynote speech from Prof. Nicola McLelland from the University of Nottingham. There will also be presentations of current scholarship projects as well as the Associations first AGM and the launch of several Special Interest Groups (SIGs) that will form part of the Association.
