[Maths-Education] BCME5 linguistics discussion group

[Richard Barwell]

If you met an applied linguistic, what would you discuss?

I am hoping to propose a discussion group for BCME5 at Keele next July 
looking at linguistics in mathematics education. THe plan is to invite
some applied linguists to the meeting for a mutually enriching and 
productive discussion on language related research and practice in 
mathematics education. 

I am working on the idea with Constant Leung (Kings College London) and
we feel that the group would be most productive and most likely to 
interest applied linguists if we discussed 2 or 3 fairly focussed 
questions or issues. These could relate to structure or interaction, 
discourse, grammar, vocabulary...

So, any suggestions?
