<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">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.</P>
