Full Title: Second International Conference on Linguistic and Intercultural Education Short Title: CLIE2 Date: 10-Jun-2010 - 12-Jun-2010 Location: Herceg Novi, Montenegro Contact Person: CLIE2 Convenors Meeting Email: nclie2 gmail.com Web Site: http://www.uab.ro/sesiuni_2010/CLIE_2010/ Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics; Discourse Analysis; Language Acquisition; Sociolinguistics; Translation Call Deadline: 25-Mar-2010 Meeting Description: The European Network for Intercultural Education Activities (ENIEDA) in cooperation with The Centre for Research and Innovation in Linguistic Education (CIEL) of the University of Alba Iulia, Romania, and The Institute of Foreign Languages (IFL) of the University of Montenegro are organising the Second International Conference on Linguistic and Intercultural Education (CLIE2) entitled 'Linguistic and Cultural Diversity within European Learning Communities: Cross-cultural and Trans-national Perspectives'. The special focus theme proposed for the conference is universal vs. culture specific in the discourse of academic and professional rhetoric. The conference is taking place in Herceg Novi, Montenegro, from 10-12 June 2010. Following the success of the 1st International Conference on Linguistic and Intercultural Education (CLIE1), hosted by the University of Alba Iulia (27-29 November 2008), and the follow-up Exploratory Workshop (21-23 May 2009), which saw the establishment of the European Network for Intercultural Education Activities (ENIEDA), we are happy to announce that the CLIE2 conference intends to capitalise on the achievements and the collaborative spirit created during the two events and to explore further key questions on their agenda. CLIE2, therefore, will remain open to linguistic and cross-cultural education-related topics broadly defined, looking more closely into the current dynamics in Europe between old and new trends, local and global tendencies, progressive and conservative views, stabilisation and destabilisation patterns, national and European identities. Even though our aim is to focus primarily on European learning communities and their culture specific identities, we would welcome participants representing other geographical and geo-political regions and their contributions as well. 2nd Call for Papers Deadline Extension! CLIE2 is open to linguistic and cross-cultural education-related topics broadly defined, looking more closely into the current dynamics in Europe between old and new trends, local and global tendencies, progressive and conservative views, stabilisation and destabilisation patterns, national and European identities. Even though our aim is to focus primarily on European learning communities and their culture specific identities, we would welcome participants representing other geographical and geo-political regions and their contributions as well. Within this general thematic schema, the following frameworks and approaches are suggested: (i) Theoretical/methodological frameworks Discourse Analysis, Rhetoric and (Intercultural) Pragmatics Second Language Acquisition Semantics and Stylistics Contrastive Linguistics Foreign Language Teaching and Teacher Education Sociolinguistics Translating, Interpreting and Mediation Communication Theory Education: best practices and policies E-education Platforms (and Language Learning) (ii) Applied/empirical approaches Multilingualism and plurilingualism in Europe (and beyond) European learning communities and national/regional education policies Multilingual and multicultural literacy as a learning outcome Intercultural communication in academic and professional settings Intercultural competence within national curricula and current EU legislation Empowerment and discrimination through language Exposing racism, xenophobia and intolerance Developing European identity vs. preserving national/regional/local identities Intercultural communication and multicultural identities The following keynote speakers confirmed their participation: Professor Cornelia Ilie, Malmo University, Sweden Professor Ljiljana Markovic, University of Belgrade, Serbia Professor Jacques Moeschler, University of Geneva, Switzerland Professor Itesh Sachdev, Soas, University of London, UK Mr Vidosav Stevanovic, writer and free lance journalist, Serbia/France The main aim of the conference is to promote the values of multilingualism and intercultural cooperation in a rapidly changing and communication-driven society with cross-border and culture-convergent encounters. Our task is to re-examine and re-define key questions on our existing agenda, as well as to identify new collaborative and networking opportunities, both of which will inform future directions of research and development. Languages of the conference are English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Russian. We invite proposals for individual papers, panels/colloquia, workshops and posters on the topics suggested, but not strictly limited to the list above. They should be written in the language of the presentation and be up to 300 words long. Individual papers are allotted 30 minutes (including discussion time), while panels/colloquia and workshops should last no longer than 90 minutes per session.
