<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(80, 80, 80); font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">The conference theme Linguistic dominance and inequality is for several reasons topical in Sweden today and in particular the city of Malmö.
It is a truly multilingual city, where more than 40% of the population is born abroad or has parents born abroad. Malmö University has a strong commitment towards widening participation in higher education. English in Sweden is taking on a role as a second
rather than foreign language, which poses additional language learning challenges for those immigrants who have with limited prior exposure to English.</span></p>
