Meeting Description:
The 7th International Conference of English as
a Lingua Franca (ELF7) to be held at
DEREE - The American College of Greece, Athens,
on September 4-6, 2014 follows the
highly successful first six conferences in the
series that were held in Helsinki (2008),
Southampton (2009), Vienna (2010), Hong Kong
(2011), Istanbul (2012), and Rome
(2013).
ELF has now established itself as a major and
expanding field of academic research. Its
interconnections with pedagogy and a host of
other disciplines are being currently
discussed, acknowledged, and investigated.
Targeting English language educators who
work with English language users from diverse
educational and cultural backgrounds in a
wide variety of settings, ELF can uniquely be
interconnected with issues affecting and
related to identity, language policy-making,
intercultural awareness, technology, and
language use at all levels facilitating human
communications globally.
ELF7 seeks to explore these interfaces of ELF
with pedagogy and other disciplines in the
interest of the advancement of the field.
Keynote Speakers:
Henry Widdowson: University of Vienna,
Austria
Elana Shohamy: Tel-Aviv University, Israel
Maria Grazia Guido: University of Salento,
Italy
Nicos Sifakis: Hellenic Open University,
Greece
