​​Every once in a while one needs an excuse to visit the city of Grahamstown. Attending CLASA 2017 (Conference of the Language Associations of South Africa) created this opportunity to be surrounded by beautiful architecture and picturesque Eastern Cape scenery. Rhodes University, nestled within these surroundings, makes for the perfect conference venue.
Five language organisations joined forces to present their research innovations and resources. The end result was a well-organised conference supported by helpful officials, blended with thought-provoking presentations on African languages and language-related research. Top notch academics were granted the opportunity to share their research, which contributed to the main conference themes of multilingualism and transformation. Language practitioners and researchers gained valuable insights from presentations on linguistics, language policy planning, language teaching, and lexicography.
