Meeting Description:

The aim of the conference is to provide a platform for the presentation and discussion of international research on academic language use and academic literacies relevant for a range of educational contexts in the Nordic setting. There is an increasing need for advanced academic skills both in upper secondary and tertiary education, and pupils, students and academic staff are expected to be able to effectively navigate a range of academic settings, both in the local languages and in English. In order to meet these challenges, we need more knowledge of a range of issues related to academic language use, and it is our hope that the conference will provide a forum for exchange of knowledge and will inspire more research in the Nordic context within this important research area.

'Academic Language Use and Academic Literacies from a Multilingual Perspective in Nordic Educational Contexts' is hosted at the Department of English, Germanic and Romance Studies at the University of Copenhagen, 9-11 May 2016.

The conference language is English. 

Call for Papers:

We invite papers on:

- Academic language use in Nordic academic settings across the educational  system, with a focus on academic Danish, Faeroese, Finnish, Greenlandic, Islandic, Norwegian, Swedish, as well as English
- Contrastive studies of academic language use
- Corpus-linguistic and lexicographic research, including collation of academic corpora, extraction of academic word and phrase lists and development of academic dictionaries and other language teaching tools/language learning tools
- Academic literacies, including academic genres in different disciplinary areas and registers
- Research on challenges in relation to the acquisition of academic language knowledge and skills, both for L1 and L2 users across the educational system
- Research on teaching projects aimed at enhancing academic language skills, both in the learners’ L1 and L2.

Priority will be given to papers from countries covered by the Nordplus Programme (Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Finland, Greenland, Faeroe Isles, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania).

The conference language is English. 

Two abstracts should be submitted: a long abstract (600 words, including the title) and a shorter version (200 words, including the title). Both abstracts should be submitted in English, but may also be submitted in an additional version in a language chosen by the submitter.
