The conference will offer new insights into the learning and teaching of languages, acknowledging the complexity and dynamism of the processes involved (including motivation), the multiplicity of contexts where learning can take place nowadays (in school, out-of-school, across spaces) and the key role learners play as agents in what they eventually learn or do not learn.

Participants can also propose a thematic or symposium session, consisting of 3-4 presentations or a panel. Any of these can address issues related to the conference themes (see above) or in general to: -Pedagogic practices in dynamic settings -Multilingual learning contexts -Emerging learner contexts and communities -Learner/teacher contributions and identities -Promoting change in language education To submit a paper or poster abstract please go to the conference website and follow the instructions under Submission of abstracts.
