Meeting Description:

The term 'immersion' was coined in the mid-1960s in Quebec, Canada, when
English-speaking parents requested the schooling of their children in French.
Since then, language immersion - which entails the exposure of language
learners to social environments where the target language is spoken - has come
to be viewed as the most efficient language learning method in schools where
various forms of language immersion are being implemented and enforced, in the
language teaching industry where immersion is often highlighted as a central
feature of language learning programs, and among enterprises in the experience
economy where activities based on 'immersion-experiences' are being designed
and marketed.

By viewing 'immersion' as linguistic ideology, this symposium aims to
critically engage with the discourses, practices and subjectivities that are
animated by the concept, and to ask how these relate to social structures and
processes of power, inequality and (neoliberal) governance. It explores how
social actors in the various contexts where 'immersion' has been adapted,
imagine, resignify and challenge the concept, and what the educational, social
and political-economic consequences are for them.
