Meeting Description:
This conference, the first of two on plurilingualism and pluriculturalism, will bring together researchers and practitioners to discuss plurilingual and pluricultural education with a particular focus on ‘languages of the wider world’: i.e. those of Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Eastern Europe, Scandinavia and the Netherlands.
Plurilingualism refers to the capacity of individuals to communicate in more than one language or dialect. Individuals may be plurilingual from learning languages through formal education or from their experiences in multilingual contexts.
Participants at this conference will define, analyse and explore new directions and paradigms for plurilingual and pluricultural education. The conference will also provide opportunities for further research and collaboration.
Both events are jointly organised by LWW-CETL and 'Pluralité des Langues et des Identités en Didactique: Acquisition, Médiations' (PLIDAM) - a research group at the Institut National des Langues et Civilisations Orientales (INALCO) in Paris, France. 'Langscape' (“Networking the European Research Community on Language Acquisition and Language Learning”) is our conference partner.
