Plenary speakers- Denise Angelo, researcher in Indigenous contact and traditional languages education and policy at the Australian National University ; Dr Denise Angelo is based at the Australian National University. She works with Indigenous communities on a wide range of practical and policy responses to their contemporary language ecologies. In the area of Indigenous creole languages, gaining recognition in policy and raising community awareness are a major focus. For traditional languages, many communities aspire to renew their languages, so language description, learning and teaching are major goals. With English as the default national language setting, accessing schooling and other social services is a social justice issue for L2 learners of English. In addition to academic publications in these areas, she has co-authored reports and guides for educators and policy makers, developed resources for vernacular literacy and school languages curriculum and delivered professional training in education, interpreting and translating.
