Subject: [Edling] New European Network for Language and Education within the EERA
<br>
<br>
<br>
<div>
<div>Dear Edling-Members,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
Within the European Educational Research Association (EERA) there is a new founded
<b><u>Network for Language and Education</u></b> - LEd. You can find some information on: <a href="http://www.eera-ecer.de/networks/nw31/">http://www.eera-ecer.de/networks/nw31/</a>.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-GB">Network Objectives</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">The network intends to create an international space for all educational researchers working on - or wishing to reflect upon - issues related to the reciprocal relationship between language proficiency and educational
processes, settings or outcomes. The concrete role of language, language diversity and literacy skills within teaching and learning contexts will be the focus of the network.
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">In light of the increasing significance of language education linguistically diverse, heterogeneous contexts as a result of globalization and mobility, more and more educational systems are experiencing the need to train
teachers, educators and administrators in aspects of linguistics and sociolinguistics that are relevant to educational practice. On numerous occasions, language competence and performancehave been identified as key to school success. This applies to all pupils,
allochthonous as well as autochthonous. It is thus necessary to allot more attention to language and education within the European research space.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">The network is an interdisciplinary endeavour and sees itself at the crossroad between educational sciences, linguistics, sociolinguistics, psychology, as well as other related disciplines. Its work transversally touches
upon several educational areas, such as intercultural and inclusive education, educational policy, teacher training, general and subject-specific didactics, assessment and curriculum development.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-GB"><br>
</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-GB">Interest areas – commented key words</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">The network intends to cover four broad thematic areas briefly commented below:</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="text-indent:-18.0pt"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:Symbol">·<span style="font-size:7pt; font-family:'Times New Roman'"> </span></span><b><span lang="EN-GB">The role of bi-, multi-, plurilingualism,translanguaging
and other indications of linguistic diversity in education</span></b><span lang="EN-GB"> – within this area, all proposals dealing with processes of language acquisition, additional language proficiency and, in general, linguistic diversity in educationalsettings,
including the teaching and learning of heritage languages, are addressed. Also aspects of language policy and pedagogy relevant in language diverse contexts, as well as processes of identity construction are a topic.</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><b style="text-indent:-18pt"><span lang="EN-GB">Language issues across subjects</span></b><span lang="EN-GB" style="text-indent:-18pt"> – within this topic we welcome proposals dealing with language use in all subjects,
such as aspects of classroom interaction, language repertoires and subject literacy. Also the study of language/s as a part of multimodal communication is object of interest.</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span lang="EN-GB" style="text-indent:-18pt; font-family:Symbol"><span style="font-size:7pt; font-family:'Times New Roman'"> </span></span><b style="text-indent:-18pt"><span lang="EN-GB">Methodological aspects in language
assessment or teaching / learning</span></b><span lang="EN-GB" style="text-indent:-18pt"> – the network also wishes to focus on different methodological approaches in the investigation of language proficiency, classroom communication and school outcomes.</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span lang="EN-GB"> </span><b style="text-indent:-18pt"><span lang="EN-GB">Data storage, data sharing, reanalysis.</span></b><span lang="EN-GB" style="text-indent:-18pt">There is a particular interest on the use of digital
media, computerized corpora and other data (e.g. video data) for the analysis of language as well as for the teaching and learning of languages.</span></p>
<div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder">
</div>
<div><b>Upcoming activities</b></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The network will have its annual conference at the European Conference on Educational Research (ECER) taking place at the University of Porto, from the 1st to the 5th of September 2014.

identities in multilingual contexts such as Hong Kong. It focuses on how professional and personal identities are enacted as individuals cross geographic, educational, and socio-cultural boundaries to become English language teachers in Hong Kong. It explores
the construction of language teachers’ professional identities from multiple perspectives in multiple settings, including pre-service and in-service teachers from Hong Kong, Mainland China, and Western countries. Understanding the difficulties and challenges
these language teachers face in their identity and professional development is of relevance to teachers and teacher educators, as well as those interested in becoming language teachers in multilingual contexts.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span lang="EN"><br>
