This is the first international conference organised by the newly established AILA Research Network (ReN) on "Social and Affective Factors in Home Language Maintenance and Development".

The conference aims at:
Conference themes include:
Audience:
The conference is targeting scholars and PhD students involved in research and/or outreach activities in the field of social and affective factors in home language maintenance and development. The organisers aim to provide a meaningful forum for debate and collaboration between researchers. The event will be an opportunity to consolidate and disseminate the activities of ReN members as well as attract further interest from the research community and other interested parties.
Format:
The conference will be organised around a format that allows for participants to engage in discussion. There will be three types of presentations: keynotes, full papers and speed papers from both scholars and practitioners. We invite submissions for both full papers and speed papers.
Full papers:
We invite submissions of abstracts of no more than 500 words on the ReN theme. Abstracts will be reviewed anonymously. Please remove all author information from the abstract and submit your abstract through EasyChair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=holm2016
Presentations will be for 20 minutes plus a 10-minute discussion time. Make sure you select the strand “Full paper” for your submission.
Speed papers:
The speed paper strand aims at providing participants with an overview of projects already being carried out or in development/planning. Presenters get 4 slides and 4 minutes to share their ideas and work. The audience has to the opportunity to provide relevant written feedback and comments. We envisage this strand to result in valuable targeted feedback for the presenters and to generate interest in potential collaborations within and beyond the ReN. To participate, submit a 150-word abstract through EasyChair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=holm2016
Abstracts will be reviewed anonymously. Make sure you select the strand “Speed paper” for your submission.
