Meeting Description:

(Symposium S109 at the World Congress of Applied Linguistics)

This open symposium will discuss key educational perspectives and practices in
relation to linguistic diversity across countries and communities. We are
interested in how societal groups perceive, react to, and manage linguistic
diversity, and how this is reflected in formal and informal educational
programs and initiatives. The focus of this symposium lies on trans- and
intranational comparisons, in an attempt to extend beyond the traditionally
nationally oriented research on multilingualism in education, while
acknowledging the different linguistic ecologies within nations as well.

Accordingly, the symposium will adopt a two-fold approach: In the first
presentation slot, we invite overviews of language(s) in the formal and
informal education system from selected national contexts, as well as
contributions drawing explicitly on comparisons across the national context.
In the second presentation slot, specific key issues which impact on
educational policies and practices will be discussed and compared both trans-
and intra-nationally. These issues may include language attitudes and
ideologies, the status of languages within societies, or aspects of social
justice and inclusiveness.

Keywords: intra- and transnational comparison, language in education,
linguistic diversity, societal multilingualism

Featured Speaker:
Professor Kutlay Yagmur, Tilburg University, the Netherlands

Organisers:
Andrea Schalley, Karlstad University, Sweden
