Meeting Description:

Traditionally, language teaching and learning has been compartmentalised in
many ways in our research, teaching methodology, materials, and perceptions.
Boundaries and borders are now disappearing and language learning and teaching
takes place in contexts where there are increasingly fewer walls. We can no
longer clearly differentiate modern foreign language from second language
teaching and learning, private and public sectors, teacher and students roles,
classroom and outside classroom engagement.

This conference will encourage participants to explore the challenges and
possibilities afforded by the varied settings, modes, teaching methods, roles
and means of ommunication in current day language teaching with the merging of
learning environments.

What are the differing contributions of blended learning, computer mediated
communication and face to face modes to language learning?
What can we learn from the synergy of  language learning and teaching in
different settings, different linguistic contexts and at different ages?
How can the effective use of home languages and translanguaging contribute to
language teaching and learning?
What do we know of language learners as language users, and the different
contexts in which they use their languages?
In what ways can different research perspectives and innovative methodologies
provide complementary views of learning and teaching processes?

Confirmed plenary speakers:

Professor Angela Creese, University of Birmingham

Professor Neil Mercer, University of Cambridge

Professor Judit Kormos, Lancaster University
