Meeting Description:

(Session of World Congress of Applied Linguistics)

Session title: Acquiring communicative competence beyond the classroom:
language learning in the era of globalization

In an increasingly mobile world, language repertoires reflect mobility as
language knowledge becomes more and more dynamic and changeable. In this vein,
repertoires do not develop along linear paths but rather unsystematically,
“explosively” or “gradually” in different phases of life (Blommaert & Backus
2011). Under these circumstances, the trajectories and, with emerging new
technologies, the means of language learning have become increasingly diverse
and polycentric (Douglas Fir Group 2016). Formal and informal learning often
go hand in hand as learners want to acquire communicative competence, i.e. the
capacity to be a full social being and make oneself understood by others in a
wide range of social arenas (Hymes 1972). From a usage-based point of view
(e.g. Barlow & Kemmer 2000), this competence is built on active language use.

This symposium addresses the increasingly diverse language learning
trajectories in a modern, globalized world, specifically outside of formal
classroom situations. This includes, but is not restricted to: study abroad
contexts, mobile-assisted language learning and tourist contexts. Studies
showcasing the interaction of formal and informal language learning are
particularly welcome and we encourage scholars working on any language
(including sign languages) to submit their papers.
