Meeting Description:

The Research group on Sociolinguistics, Language Pedagogy and

University, will be hosting

The Consequences of Mobility:
Linguistic and Sociocultural Contact Zones

We are delighted to announce that our invited speakers will be:
Professor Peter Auer, Albert-Ludwigs-Universitt Freiburg
Professor Lesley Milroy, University of Michigan

We suggest the following themed workshops, and invite participants to
offer papers for them and perhaps propose others as well:

1. Construction of sociocultural identities in face-to-face interaction
(Susanne Kjrbk)

2. Accents and dialects in contact: linguistic and attitudinal
consequences (Anne Fabricius)

3. Second and foreign language learning and teaching: how can we
envisage
transnational approaches aiming not only at the development of
familarity
with national cultures', but also at the development of world citizens
in
a multilingual and multicultural world (Karen Risager)

4. Youth language and Anglo-American subcultures in EFL Countries (Bent
Preisler)

5. International exchange and national language policy in higher
education
(Bent Preisler, Karen Sonne Jakobsen)

Language policy: The main working language of the conference will be
English. We acknowledge the paradox in conducting the conference in a
specific language, in contrast to the conference focus on issues of
multilingualism, language contact and power.
