Meeting Description:

In intercultural studies, most educational questions are related to
competences: how to ''socialize to diversity, to otherness'' (Alaoui, 2014),
what are the dimensions of knowledge, of know-how and life skills associated
with the intercultural competence and how to evaluate them? Can we teach
students ''intercultural competences'' or educate them ''via the
intercultural'' (Castellotti, 2006)? How can we enable the development of
criteria to evaluate the didactical pertinence of teaching methods?
 
In the context of higher education, other questions seem particularly
interesting: those of the target public (which students?), of the temporality
of curricula (at what point in the program?), with what objectives? Is it
simply a question of preparing students for international mobility,
facilitating their social integration, their professional integration, or,
more generally, supporting and promoting their integration in a multilingual
and multicultural society?
 
Also, what relationship can be established between ''communicational'' or
''interactional'' and ''intercultural'' competences? What communicational
strategies, for example face-work (Goffman, 1974) can be taught to facilitate
access to an intercultural dialogue?
 
Finally, the question raised is the elaboration of criteria which can be used
to evaluate the didactic pertinence of such programs. What are the concepts
and theoretical or methodological tools which favor the construction of
pedagogical practices, and the subsequent analysis of the results? Can these
tools come from interactional (Kerbrat-Orecchioni, 2005) or conversation
(Traverso, 1999) analytical models, or from other methods developed in
sociolinguistics and in discourse studies? What are the ethical precautions
that must apply to this kind of research? Is it possible to transfer the
results of a local field study or experiment to a more national or
transnational level?


Call for Papers:

Contributions from the humanities and social sciences, in particular language
and cultural studies, sociolinguistics, anthropology and/or education.

2) Field studies and projects: presentation and analysis of field studies

3) Interculturality and interdisciplinarity: multidisciplinary studies on
''Intercultural education'' which underline the epistemological and
terminological complexity of the concept
