Meeting Description:

English didactics appears as a complex domain, requiring further
reflection. This conference aims to understand and define the
peculiarities of English didactics and its place in today’s globalized
world. This conference will be an opportunity to analyze the
epistemology of the field, in relation to its historical evolution and
other types of didactics (French and other foreign languages,
plurilingualism).  Also, it will offer a chance to study common
objects of research (the most salient, those which require further
development, and those which have become obsolete), the
teaching-learning environments including tools and resources
(pedagogical practices, classroom contexts, etc.), and lastly,
methodological questions and the relationship between research,
fieldwork, and training.

-----------------

The starting point for the conference, “Teaching and Learning English
as a Foreign Language in educational settings: Issues and
specificities” will be the study of language and education policies in
France. This particular context is marked by a competition between two
hegemonies: the French language and the English language. This rivalry
has resulted in the development of teaching practices that are not
fully centered on English, such as the teaching of French as a Foreign
Language or the teaching of languages in general.  It is therefore
necessary to clarify the meaning of “English didactics” as well as its
place in the world.
First, the notion of “English didactics” makes one think of English
Learning/Teaching for the purposes of communication, in the context of
the academic discipline, English and Anglophone studies.  One of the
goals of this conference is to establish what we mean when we say
“English” today, since the word could refer to English as a second
language, English as a foreign language, English as an academic
language, English for specific purposes, or English as a lingua
franca.
One must also consider the difference between teaching English and
teaching through English (intensive courses, CLIL programs, the
internationalization of certain degree programs, etc.).  This
discipline could be interpreted as belonging to the field of the
didactics of languages and cultures (Galisson & Puren, 1999; Galisson,
2002), a discipline centered around observation, analysis,
interpretation and intervention in the interconnected environments,
practices and processes involved in teaching and learning.
One may also consider English didactics as a unique branch within the
field of language didactics, that can be divided into several
sub-fields: linguistics (Bailly, 1998), history (Puren, 1988),
praxeology (Galisson & Puren, 1999; Bailly, 1998; Narcy-Combes, 2005),
among others.  It may also fall within the field of the didactics of
plurilingualism (Huver & Macaire, 2021; Candelier, 2008; Moore, 2006;
Macaire et al., 2003), which focuses on the language user’s linguistic
and communicative repertoire when exchanging with the “other,” as well
as on the intercultural dimension in which the native speaker is not
the only point of reference.
English didactics therefore appears as a complex domain, requiring
further reflection. To summarize, this conference aims to understand
and define the peculiarities of English didactics and its place in
today’s globalized world.
This conference will be an opportunity to analyze the epistemology of
the field, in relation to its historical evolution and other types of
didactics (French and other foreign languages, plurilingualism).
Also, it will offer a chance to study common objects of research (the
most salient, those which require further development, and those which
have become obsolete), the teaching-learning environments including
tools and resources (pedagogical practices, classroom contexts, etc.),
and lastly, methodological questions and the relationship between
research, fieldwork and training.
