The workshop is timely because it is grounded upon the fertile soil in two key knowledge domains (LD and TISL) and facilitates much-needed cross-fertilisation between them. Specifically, we aim to: 

• Establish a new area of research in Education, synergising LD and TISL, and focusing on context, practice and change 
• Network to build a new community around this research theme 
• Produce 5-6 draft papers for a special journal issue 
• Potential for new significant research grant proposals 
• Archive the work outputs from the workshop activities as a useful resource to other practitioners
