Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics; Language Acquisition 

Meeting Description: 

As emerging technologies and globalization conspire to make education more
international, the theme of this year’s Conference on Language, Learning, and
Culture -- Reimagining International Education -- seeks to explore how we, as
internationally minded educators, might be able to shape the development of
international education in productive and exciting ways.

CLLC 2016 will encourage conference participants to ask, among many other
questions, how we can encourage multilingualism and multiliteracies; enhance
the vitality of international student and educator networks; improve
pedagogical practices to facilitate language learning, cultural awareness, and
21st-century career readiness; demonstrate the value of inquiry-based learning
across a variety of contexts; promote global citizenship and international
development; foster inclusivity and cultural responsiveness; ensure fair and
valid uses of gatekeeping exams with implications for global student mobility;
support the development of teachers’ professional identities and feelings of
empowerment; and bridge gaps between classrooms and communities worldwide.

The main strands of the conference will include:
- Reimagining educational access and communities;
- Reimagining curriculum, pedagogy, and assessment; and
- Reimagining teacher education.

Through the sharing of best practices and emerging trends in these areas, our
goal is to facilitate a thought-provoking, perspective-widening,
solutions-oriented dialogue on the future of international education that
acknowledges and embraces the interactions between language, learning, and
culture.
