International Conference, Beyond English: Multilingualism in Contemporary Europe
Polonia University, Częstochowa, Poland
May 14, 2014

The conference focuses on multilingualism in contemporary Europe and the role of English as the global language. However, its aim is to show that, even though English is the world language, learners should not limit themselves to it because multilingualism is also present in many contexts.

The conference fee is 300 zlotys for Polish participants and 100 euros for foreign ones. If you also wish to participate in the banquet, please, indicate this in the registration form and pay 50 zlotys (12 euros) in addition to the conference fee.  The fees should be paid by bank transfer to the bank account of Polonia University: BANK MILLENNIUM SA: 85 1160 2202 0000 0001 8573 5068 (payments in zlotys).

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.
