Meeting Description: 

The 8th AICLU (Associazione Italiana Centri Linguistici Italiani) Conference 
will be on the theme of ‘Innovation in Methodology and Practice in 
Language Learning: Experiences and Proposals for University Language 
Centres’ and will be held at the University of Foggia from 30 May to 1 June 
2013. 

In a context of profound changes and rethinking not only of the entire 
university system but also of language teaching and the role of university 
language centres, the conference aims to give university teachers and 
scholars as well as secondary school teachers the possibility to exchange 
views on a wide range of highly topical issues related to foreign language 
teaching. It is hoped that the conference will provide a showcase for new 
trends in foreign language teaching in an increasingly globalized and 
multilingual world which is at the same time being forced to carry out radical 
reforms. The five topic areas are as follows: 

1) The use of new technologies in language learning 
2) Survival strategies for language centres in an era of diminishing 
resources 
3) New developments in teaching language for specific purposes 
4) The changing role of testing, evaluation and certification in language 
learning 
5) Proposals and case studies in Content and Language Integrated 
Learning (CLIL) 

Plenary Speakers: 
  
Dr. Peter Howarth (University of Leeds, Chair of the Association of 
University Language Centres for the United Kingdom and Ireland) 
Dr. Gisella Langé (Inspector for Italy’s Ministry of Education and expert in 
CLIL) 
Prof. Gillian Mansfield (University of Parma, President of CercleS - 
Confédération Européenne des Centres de Langues de l’Enseignement 
Supérieur)

Conference Fee: 

100 euro (50 euro for students, PhD students, secondary school teachers 
and presentation speakers)
