Abstract:

This volume is composed of 24 papers originally presented as talks at the VIII
National Conference of the Italian Association of University Language Centres
(Associazione Italiana dei Centri Linguistici Universitari: AICLU), held at
the University of Foggia, Italy, between 30 May and 1st June 2013.

The contributions fall into five sections: 1) keynote addresses from plenary
speakers; 2) innovative challenges for language centres; 3) new developments
in teaching language for specific purposes; 4) proposals and case studies in
Content and Language Integrated Learning; and 5) the use of new technologies
in language learning.

18 papers are in English, four in Italian, one in French and one in German.
The fact that three-quarters of the papers are in English reflects the way
English has become the lingua franca of academic conferences today. However,
in keeping with the ethos of CercleS (Confédération Européenne des Centres de
Langues de l’Enseignement Supérieur, the pan-European organisation to which
AICLU belongs), which is strongly committed to promoting plurilingualism, it
was crucial that contributions would also be accepted in other languages.

The volume represents the ‘state of the art’ in the field of language teaching
and theory in university language centres not only in Italy, but also in other
parts of Europe and the Mediterranean, and testifies to the rich variety of
ways in which these centres are adapting and thriving in rapidly changing
times.
