<span class="" style="font-size: 11pt;">As the opportunity and need to move between physical and virtual spaces has increased, more people experience the world as mobile and interconnected (see e.g. Douglas Fir Group, 2016; Kramsch & Whiteside, 2008). On the
one hand, this has enabled participation in dispersed communities and markets; on the other hand, as communication, meaning making, and culture have become deterritorialized, interculturality has revealed itself as more complex than the ability to mediate
across cultural differences. At the same time, patterns of mass migration and economic globalization have meant local contexts are also shaped by transnational flows of capital, knowledge, practices, and modes of communication. As a result people in today’s
world must develop the capacity to negotiate and navigate dynamic demands.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 6pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
<span class="" style="font-size: 11pt;">In 2018, the Center for Educational Resources in Culture, Language and Literacy (</span><a href="cercll.arizona.edu" class="" style="color: rgb(149, 79, 114);"><span class="" style="font-size: 11pt;">CERCLL</span></a><span class="" style="font-size: 11pt;">)
at the University of Arizona will host the <b class="">Sixth International Conference on the Development and Assessment of Intercultural Competence</b> (ICC) which will focus on the theme of </span><b class=""><i class=""><span class="" style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(237, 125, 49);">Intercultural
Competence and Mobility: Virtual and Physical</span></i></b><span class="" style="font-size: 11pt;">. The conference will feature presentations and workshops that consider intercultural competence in connection with global trends of migration, travel, and
digitally-enabled mobility. Of particular interest are contributions that address the changing state of intercultural competence in a mobile world.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 6pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">

<span class="" style="font-size: 11pt;">Proposals for in-person presentations at the conference may be submitted as one of five types: 1) paper presentation; 2) symposium; 3) roundtable discussion; 4) poster; 5) workshop.</span><span class="" style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p class=""></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 6pt 0.5in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
<span class="" style="font-size: 11pt;">1. <b class="">Paper Presentation (30 minutes total: 25 minute presentation plus 5 minutes discussion) </b>are best suited for reports on completed research or scholarly work on a topic related to one of the conference
strands. Presenters should not read their papers, but rather present the main points of their work in an engaging manner. Paper sessions will be organized into sessions of four papers by strand. Papers may be presented in English, French, German or Spanish.
See below for additional details about virtual papers.</span><span class="" style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p class=""></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 6pt 0.5in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
<span class="" style="font-size: 11pt;">2. <b class="">Symposium (2 hours total: 90 minutes for presentations and 30 minutes for discussion)</b> provide a venue for a group of authors (3-5) to propose a set of papers based on a shared theme or topic related
to one of the conference strands. The papers may present complementary aspects or contrasting perspectives. Total presentation time is limited to one hour and thirty minutes. Thirty minutes are allocated at the end to give presenters and symposium participants
an opportunity to engage in extended dialogue.</span><span class="" style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p class=""></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 6pt 0.5in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
<span class="" style="font-size: 11pt;">3. <b class="">Roundtable Discussion (15 minutes total: 8 minutes presentation plus 7 minutes for discussion)</b> present an opportunity for informal, in-depth discussions between presenters and participants on a specific
topic or theme. They are particularly well suited for works-in-progress and are not meant to be formal paper presentations. Roundtable sessions allow for engaging conversations and provide networking opportunities among participants on common research interests.</span><span class="" style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p class=""></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 6pt 0.5in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
<span class="" style="font-size: 11pt;">Roundtable discussions will be held in a room with several sessions taking place at the same time at different tables. Two presenters will be assigned to a table in each session and each table may seat up to six attendees.
To accompany their presentations, roundtable presenters are encouraged to prepare handouts or PowerPoint slides they can display on their laptop.</span><span class="" style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p class=""></o:p></span></p>

<span class="" style="font-size: 11pt;">4.<b class=""> Poster Session (55 minutes) </b>are ideal for presenting preliminary results of work in progress or work that lends itself to visual displays and representations. The maximum area per poster is 4 feet high
by 8 feet wide. In these sessions, presenters engage in informal discussion with conference attendees during the assigned period.</span><span class="" style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p class=""></o:p></span></p>

be structured so that some explanatory or introductory information is provided with ample time for audience interaction, participation, and involvement.</span><span class="" style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p class=""></o:p></span></div>
