Among the symposia on language policy to be presented at AILA208 will be one
organized by Gabrielle Hogan=Brun titled
'Language Education Reforms at the Margins of Europe: Policies, Practices,
Challenges'

This symposium concerns itself with changing language in education
policies  in a selection of the newly accessed EU member states. Here,
pluralism is at different stages of acceptance following the recent
inversion of power relations and enhanced orientation to the West before
the next round of EU enlargement. The role of culture and context is
highlighted to prevent uncritical international transfer of language and
educational policy and practice.
