Creative Inquiry in Applied Linguistics: Purposes, Practices, Possibilities

Louise Atkinson, Place Myths 2016

The increasing range of applied linguistic projects which engage with the arts offer approaches to research and education which can move beyond traditional research methods, offering new ways to engage with people’s complex communicative, affective, experiential and political realities. They enable us to challenge accepted boundaries, open up possibilities and disrupt fixed and binary orientations, and offer new understandings of the range and complexity of communication in personal and social repertoires. However, applied linguistics is a broad and inherently interdisciplinary field, and the definitions, practices and implications of creative inquiry for applied linguistics are as yet under-explored and under-examined. This seminar therefore aims to foster discussion

BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR APPLIED LINGUISTICSbetween established academics, early-career researchers, and artist-researchers in order to address the questions: What is creative inquiry? and What are its affordances for applied linguistics? It will initiate exploration around three broad themes:

1. creative methods (e.g. collage, drama, music) for understanding, researching and teaching communication;

2. applied linguistic methods for researching creative/artistic practice or researching arts as objects of communication;

3. engagement in creative collaborations across sectors and disciplines.
