Language on the Move 2019

You, too, can look as stylish as the Language-on-the-Move team. Get in the draw to win one our 10-year anniversary t-shirts!

2019 is almost over and before we head into the Year of the Rat, it is time to take stock, as is customary. For the Language on the Move team it has not only been a busy year – both offline and online – but a busy decade. Since we started Language on the Move a bit over ten years ago, we have published a total of 638 research blog posts. More than one per week over ten years – how impressive is that! 🙂

To celebrate we are giving away five Language on the Move anniversary t-shirts so that you can look as stylish as our team. To enter the draw, head over to Twitter and mention @lg_on_the_move or respond to one of our tweets in between now and January 20, 2020.

In your tweet, you could tell us what you like about Language on the Move. To jog your memory, please find a list of our 2019 posts below.

And don’t forget to join us next year for another round of diverse, stimulating and engaging essays, events and interactions related to intercultural communication, language learning, and multilingualism.

Make sure to keep in touch by subscribing to Language on the Move in the ‘Newsletter Subscription’ form in the footer of our site; or find us on Twitter @lg_on_the_move or on Facebook @languageonthemove.
