The aim of CALPIU'12 is to discuss various aspects of the consequences of transnational student mobility. Student mobility makes necessary both cultural and linguistic accommodation and learning processes. We are witnessing a huge increase in the learning of languages to be used as lingua francas by academic teachers and students, not least English the 'language of globalization'. However, forces of localization, too, are manifest at every university trying to adopt internationalization strategies, the tension between the global and the local - uniformity and diversification - creating a multidimensional space for new kinds of cultural and linguistic hybridity to flourish. There is a new open-mindedness regarding the roles and identities of self and others, leading to new patterns of linguistic/interactive, educational and social practices. We aim to further the theoretical understanding of these processes, those of active and receptive multilingualism, as well as language alternation in interaction. Call for Papers: The deadline for call for panel proposals is May 1, 2011. Individual paper proposals should be submitted by August 16, 2011. The conference organizers want to organise themed sessions that group individual paper proposals together. We will contact conference participants about this following the review process for individual papers in the autumn of 2011.
