This year marks the 10-year anniversary of the Issues in Applied Linguistics series, which is run as part of the Grad.Dip./MA and Structured PhD in Applied Linguistics at Mary Immaculate College (MIC).

To celebrate the milestone, the Department of English Language & Literature, has invited a number of speakers that contributed to the very first Issues in AL series in 2015 to present again 10 years on. Where relevant, the speakers will focus on developments in the field during the last decade.

This event series is organised by the Royal Irish Academy’s Languages, Literature, Culture and Communications Committee (LLCC) and the higher education institutions in Ireland.

Five documentaries produced by Mary Immaculate College (MIC) Media & Communication Studies students will be shown publicly for the first time at a special screening at Dolan’s Warehouse in Limerick City on Wednesday 1 May.

A series of documentaries produced by MIC Media & Communications students were publicly aired for the first time at a special screening event in Dolan’s in Limerick recently. Now in it’s 24th year, the annual end-of-year screenings debut documentaries and advertisements which final-year Media students have spent a semester producing, shooting and editing. The documentaries offer an insight into the lives of students facing different challenges and experiences, including mature students and their return to education, two female students balancing parenthood with full-time study, and three students with differing backgrounds and beliefs who discuss the prejudices they witness. In addition, the history of radio in Ireland is chronicled in one documentary, with another recording the invaluable work done by the Limerick Youth Service.

Mary Immaculate College is committed to providing an inclusive and supportive environment for all staff and students.

It was with great sadness that MIC learned of the death of lecturer and colleague Dr Tony Langlois, who passed away suddenly on Saturday 12 October. Tony was a dedicated lecturer in the Department of Media & Communication Studies and a beloved member of the MIC community. Leading the many heartfelt tributes to Tony was Dr Rosemary Day, Head of Department in Media & Communications, who said. Tony, who joined MIC as a lecturer in Media & Communications in 2001, was instrumental in the development of the students’ community radio station, Wired FM, a joint partnership between MIC and TUS. He was also involved in the co-ordination and direction of the national research centre for audio studies, ARC.
