What makes them interesting from a linguistic point of view
The types of English spoken in the Gulf and whether we can talk about ‘Gulf English’
The role of Arabic in the region
Translanguaging, multilingualism and reconceptualising how we think about doing language in the world
Translingual practice as a real world manifestation of how people use language resources to communicate
