Aims of the seminar:
To provide a forum where researchers, policymakers and practitioners can come
together to discuss how discourses of integration interact with linguistic and
cultural practices in multilingual communities and schools in different European
countries.
To identify policies and practices that foster educational achievement for
children from minority backgrounds.
To develop positive research relationships with researchers in UK and the wider
European community.
We will be considering these questions:
What kinds of teacher training programmes enhance understanding of multilingual
identities and language development?
What kinds of intercultural curricula help develop multilingual identities?
How can bilingual learning be used to access the curriculum?
How can research into bilingual learning be effectively used to inform policy
and practice in specific educational contexts?
As well as several invited presentations, the seminar programme will include a
number of workshop and working group sessions
