Meeting Description:

Multilingual Education in Linguistically Diverse Contexts 17

29-30 September 2017

The conference considers all aspects of the linguistic and sociolinguistic
competences and practices of bi-/multilingual speakers who cross existing
social and linguistic boundaries, adopting or adapting themselves to new and
overlapping linguistic spaces.

Call for Papers:

We invite papers in all areas of research in bi-/multilingualism, whether or
not linked directly to the overarching conference theme, including, but not
limited to, linguistics, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics,
neurolinguistics, clinical linguistics, education, bi-/multilingual societies.

Topics will include:

- (Multiple) language acquisition and learning (L3, L4, Lx)
- Psycho- and neurolinguistics of multilingualism
- Translanguaging
- Early bilingualism and heritage language development
- Speech processing in bi-/multilinguals
- Trans/multilingual language use in different contexts
- Multilingual education
- Bi-/multiculturalism
- Bi-/multilingual language policies
- Literacy in multiple languages (pluriliteracy)
- Intercultural and globalisation issues related to multilingualism

Proposals:

The two categories of proposals are: individual papers and posters.

Individual papers: Papers are formal presentations on original research by one
or more authors, lasting a total of 30 minutes (20 minutes for presentation
and 10 minutes for discussion). Please, note that the time limit will be
strictly adhered to.

Posters: Poster sessions are for displaying research that offers the
opportunity for individualised, informal discussion of the research. Posters
are especially effective for presenting work-in-progress, fieldwork and
results of empirical research if data can be presented visually (e.g. charts,
graphs, tables). A block of time will be designated when presenters are
available to discuss their posters. Posters should be in the size of DIN A1 or
A0 in portrait format. There will be a time slot dedicated to poster
presentations.

Abstracts should be between 300 and 500 words in length (including
references).

The language of the conference is English.

Submission of proposals:

Submission is already open and will close on 1 May 2017. Presenters are
requested to include their name, affiliation and email address in the
submitted MS-Word documents. All proposals should be sent to:
meldc17 at gmail.com

Evaluation of proposals:

Proposals will be evaluated in terms of quality of content, significance,
originality, thematic relevance, and presentation.

Conference Presentation Policies:

Individuals may submit a maximum of one abstract as first author, whether a
paper or a poster.

It is assumed that all proposals represent original and unpublished work that
is not yet available to the research community.

- The presenter must be a registered attending participant at the Conference
- The conference policy is that the author will present the paper on the day
and time assigned by the conference program committee
