Meeting Description:

The languages of Language Centres towards European and international
challenges: education and employment.

Drawing on the results of surveys and research projects (ELAN, 2007; PIMLICO,
2010), in the last decade the European Commission has stressed the relevance
of knowing and using a foreign language in the working context (e.g.
companies, public institutions, service industry). In particular, proficiency
in a foreign language represents a considerable advantage in sales and
marketing and provides a significant aid in intra and extra-company
communication at all levels.

In this perspective, the role of university language centres as privileged
loci for advanced language education is crucial in complying with European
requirements on languages and employment, promoting work-oriented language
training within the framework of key competences for lifelong learning (EU
2020).

Invited keynote speakers:

1. James Purpura (Columbia University, New York)
2. Félix San Vicente (Università di Bologna, sede Forlì)
3. Souzanne Romaine (University of Oxford)
4. Michele Gazzola (Humboldt University, Berlin)
