Meeting Description:

The validity of boundaries between languages and literacies has been intensely
debated in the field of language and literacy education questions since the
turn of the 21st Century. Competing concepts such as translanguaging,
codemeshing, metrolanguaging and polylanguaging have taken a centre stage in
current discourses around multilingual and multicultural education. However,
there are very few literacy programmes that have provided blue prints on how
these multilingual spaces can be harnessed as resources to offset monolingual
bias and its attendant rigidity that is pervasive in our classrooms. This
conference will showcase local and international responses to the changing
language and literacy spaces and to provide pathways for future imperatives
through dialogues and forge networks among researchers and practitioners
worldwide.
