Clear Browser Cache: Sometimes, cached data can cause conflicts or issues. Clear the browser cache and cookies before joining the meeting.

Disable VPN or Firewall: Sometimes, VPNs or firewalls can interfere with the connection to the meeting platform. Temporarily disable them and see if the issue persists.
Switch Devices: If possible, try joining the meeting from a different device to see if the problem is specific to one device.
Reduce Bandwidth Usage: In cases of slow or unstable internet connections, ask participants to disable video or share video selectively to reduce bandwidth consumption.
Update Drivers and Software: Ensure your operating system, audio drivers, and video drivers are up to date. Outdated drivers can cause compatibility issues with the Dryfta meeting platform.
Contact Support: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, reach out to the platform's support team. They can provide personalized assistance and troubleshoot specific problems.

20210818T1430 20210818T1800 Europe/Amsterdam S096 1/2 | Made at Home: Family Language Policy in a Mobile World Everything begins with the family, and language is the key to communication among family members for all types of endeavours. This is why Family Language Policy (FLP) matters. Whether explicit decisions on what language to use and what language to (dis)continue or implicit language practices within the family, FLP reflects broader societal attitudes and ideologies about languages, sociocultural values, sociopolitical positions and individual identities. We welcome submissions which address the following three sub-themes: Theme 1) includes families with transnational experiences and intercultural marriages. This theme focuses on how divergent cultural values and beliefs are negotiated and how changes in socio-political-cultural environments lead to changes in language practices. Theme 2) highlights studies undertaken in contexts where forceful political decisions and massive internal migration are taking place and where FLP interacts intensively with state and school policies. Theme 3) explores changes in technology and their impact on immediate and extended family members regarding FLP. It focuses on digitally-mediated communications in transnational, contemporary families across time and space. Featured Speakers: Prof Annick De Houwer (theme 1); Dr Mingyue GU (theme 2); Prof Åsa Palviainen (theme 3). Room 1 AILA 2021 aila2021@gcb.nl
