Meeting Description:

Building on the success of the first Soillse conference in 2011, and in
conjunction with CAER, the Education Society of the European Regions, this
two-day conference will provide a forum for minority language researchers,
practitioners, policy makers and activists to address a range of key issues
related to minority language education and revitalisation. The aim of the
conference is to stimulate fresh perspectives and identify new areas for
collaboration.

The conference will consist primarily of workshops centred on the following key themes:

- Language socialisation and the community
- The media in the language revitalisation debate
- Dynamic pedagogy and methodologies in minority language education
- Adult learners and community language learning
- Professional engagement with the speaker community
- Education and reversing language shift

We warmly welcome papers related to any of these key themes for inclusion in paper sessions designed to complement the workshop discussions. Abstracts should be sent by April 10, 2015 and should be no more than 250 words, including references. Prospective presenters will be informed of the outcome of their abstract no later than April 17, 2015. Presentations will be 20 minutes and may be delivered either in English or Scottish Gaelic. Please send abstracts by email to Nicola.Carty at glasgow.ac.uk
