Meeting Description:

Ce colloque se déroulera les 16 et 17 juin 2005. Il permettra d'actualiser
les connaissances sur la communication interculturelle et plus
particulièrement sur cette catégorie d'interaction primordiale : les
relations de service. En s'appuyant sur les recherches et les expériences
en sociolinguistique et linguistique, en interaction sociale, analyse
conversationnelle et didactique des langues étrangères, les participants
aborderont un large éventail de thèmes et de problèmes tels que : les
pratiques et les stratégies de communication ;  la compétence
socioculturelle et plurilingue ; l'échec pragmatique ; la communication
non-verbale ; les rôles, les représentations, et attitudes dans les
relations de service ; les approches pédagogiques des métiers d'accueil et
les formations institutionnelles.

Language in service encounters: Identities, Interaction, Training
This conference (June 16-17, 2005 : Nancy, France) will enable participants
to speak and hear about work being done in the field of intercultural
communication, with particular reference to one of the most fundamental
types of interaction: service encounters. Calling on research in
sociolinguistics and linguistics, social interaction, conversation analysis
and foreign language didactics, participants will engage with range of
topics and problems, such as: communicative practices and strategies;
sociocultural and plurilingual competence; pragmatic failure; non-verbal
communication; roles, representations and attitudes; pedagogical and
institutional approaches to the training of service providers to the public.

The purpose of the conference is to provide an interdisciplinary forum for
the discussion of the pedagogical and sociolinguistic implications of
research and experience in this field, with the aim of improving the
quality of language training provided to people involved in service encounters.
 
Thématique :
C'est un lieu commun : notre monde se rétrécit. Que l'on parle du « village
global » ou de « mondialisation », la constatation est la même : à une
allure de plus en plus rapide, les contacts et les échanges entre les
différents pays et les différentes cultures deviennent plus fréquents et
plus intensifs. L'explosion des médias de communication, la création de
grands organismes supranationaux politiques, commerciaux et sportifs, les
vastes programmes d'échanges académiques, l'expansion de l'aviation, des
voyages, du tourisme, l'immigration économique - tous ces facteurs
convergent pour produire  un « effet de serre » social et communicatif. La
communication interculturelle est devenue l'un des caractéristiques
incontournables du monde moderne.

Cependant, elle n'est pas toujours efficace et peut donner naissance à des
dysfonctionnements pragmatiques, à des malentendus ou encore à des conflits
identitaires issus des représentations des locuteurs.

Ce colloque permettra d'actualiser les connaissances sur la communication
interculturelle et plus particulièrement sur cette catégorie d'interaction
primordiale : les relations de service. En s'appuyant sur les recherches et
les expériences en sociolinguistique et linguistique, en interaction
sociale, analyse conversationnelle et didactique des langues étrangères,
les participants s'adresseront à un large éventail de thèmes et de
problèmes tels que : les pratiques et les stratégies de communication ; la
compétence socioculturelle et plurilingue ; l'échec pragmatique ; la
communication non-verbale ; les rôles, représentations, et attitudes ; les
approches pédagogiques des métiers d'accueil et les formations
institutionnelles.

L'objectif est de créer un espace de discussion pluridisciplinaire pour les
intervenants dans le domaine de la relation de service sur les implications
pédagogiques et sociolinguistiques en vue d'améliorer la formation
linguistique des personnes impliquées dans les relations de service.
Prestataires de service, formateurs de personnel, enseignants, chercheurs
et professionnels concernés par ce thème auront l'occasion d'échanger des
informations et des idées, d'exposer leurs expériences et leurs approches.

Theme of the conference :
It is nowadays commonplace to remark that ''the world is getting smaller''.
Whether we express the idea in terms of the 'global village' or of
'globalisation', the idea is the same:  contacts and exchanges between
different countries and cultures are rapidly increasing in both frequency
and intensity. Numerous factors - the explosive development of the media,
the establishment of supranational political, commercial and sporting
organisations, the expansion of air travel and tourism, vast academic
exchange programmes  - are converging to produce a social and communicative
''glasshouse effect''. Intercultural communication has become unavoidable in
the modern world.

Such communication isn't always effective, however, and speakers' outlooks
can give rise to various kinds of pragmatic dysfunction and
misunderstanding, as well as conflicts of identity.

This conference will enable participants to speak and hear about work being
done in the field of intercultural communication, with particular reference
to one of the most fundamental types of interaction: service encounters.
Calling on research in sociolinguistics and linguistics, social
interaction, conversation analysis and foreign language didactics,
participants will engage with a wide range of topics and problems, such as:
communicative practices and strategies; sociocultural and plurilingual
competence; pragmatic failure; non-verbal communication; roles,
representations and attitudes; pedagogical and institutional approaches to
the training of service providers to the public.

The purpose of the conference is to provide an interdisciplinary forum for
the discussion of  the pedagogical and sociolinguistic implications of
research and experience in this field, with the aim of improving the
quality of language training provided to people involved in service
encounters. Service providers, staff trainers, teachers, researchers and
professionals will all have the opportunity to pool information and ideas,
and to describe and discuss their experience and their approaches.

Call for papers

Submitting a paper
Every submission should include:
1) A page giving the following details:
- The title of the communication
