Meeting Description:

The University of Toronto, Mississauga (UTM) and the Center for
Educational Research in Languages and Literacies (CERLL) in
collaboration with
The Faculty of Education at Western University;
The Department of Languages, Literatures and Linguistics and the
Faculty of Education at York University;
The Department of Germanic and Slavic Studies of the University of
Waterloo

are happy to announce that the fourth

Symposium of the Southern Ontario Universities on “Bridging the Gap
between Theory and Practice: Challenges and Opportunities”

The two-day event will take place in hybrid form (in presence at the
University of Toronto - Mississuaga Campus- and online) and  consist
of two plenary sessions as well as interactive thematic sessions that
aim to engage multiple perspectives.

REGISTRATION IS FREE for all participants and presenters.

This year’s symposium aims to elicit discussion about the
complementarity of theory and practice in language and literacies
education. The Symposium invites reflections on experiences of
scholars, practitioners, and learners navigating the ever-changing
material conditions of their activities and promotes discussion about
ways to decolonize both theory and practice.
New research avenues will be discussed such as, among others,
bi-/multi-/trans-/plurilingualism in language education,
multiliteracies and multimodalities, teachers’ and students’ agency,
mobility, migration and inclusion, impact of language policies,
innovation in language teaching methodologies and assessment, language
acquisition and language use, technology-assisted language learning
and teaching, and e-Learning and distance education.

Call for Papers:

Theme of the 2023 Symposium
Bridging the Gap between Theory and Practice: Challenges and
Opportunities

Whether our work focuses more on practices or theories, or we are
called to consider both dimensions at the same time, we all strive to
bring coherence in our work by reflecting on how theory can inform our
practice and how practice can feed back into theory. This year’s
symposium aims specifically to elicit discussion about the
complementarity of theory and practice in language and literacies
education. The Symposium invites reflections on our collective
experiences as scholars, practitioners, and learners navigating the
ever-changing material conditions of our activities and promotes
discussion about ways to decolonize both theory and practice.

To pursue these goals we will be guided by two plenary speakers
operating in the languages and literacies field: one scholar working
in the Latin American world and one Indigenous scholar. Scholars and
graduate students will come together, in person or at distance, to
share and discuss their recent, on-going or future research across
different contexts, languages and cultures.

We invite you to submit paper presentations in which participants will
discuss new research avenues such as, among others,
bi-/multi-/trans-/plurilingualism in language education,
multiliteracies and multimodalities, teachers’ and students’ agency,
mobility, migration and inclusion, impact of language policies,
innovation in language teaching methodologies and assessment, language
acquisition and language use, technology-assisted language learning
and teaching, and e-Learning and distance education.

The Symposium will provide a unique opportunity for scholars (faculty
members and graduate students) working in languages/literacies
education to learn about each other’s work, exchange ideas, and
showcase or discuss their research. It will also provide a platform to
establish and expand opportunities for academic networking for future
collaborations.

University of Toronto Mississauga (UTM) is pleased to host and
facilitate the fourth Symposium supported by the Center for
Educational Research on Languages and Literacies (CERLL) and
strengthen the collaborative network in languages/literacies education
research across Southern Ontarian Universities that the Symposium has
created over the past years.

The hybrid format will ensure that the Symposium continues to reach a
broader, national and international audience as was the case in the
past online editions. With plenaries, panel discussions, presentations
and poster sessions as well as social events, the Symposium will
provide all participants, from Ontario and beyond, with a unique
opportunity to become a part of the broader languages/literacies
education academic community.

The Symposium will be comprised of two strands:
- Strand 1: Presentations and Plenary Sessions
This strand includes the two Plenary sessions and the presentation
sessions. Three presentation sessions will be organized which will be
about current themes in language and literacies education. According
to the number of submissions that are received, there may be parallel
sessions.
- Strand 2: Poster sessions
Poster sessions will also be featuring at the symposium as this will
encourage exchange and networking. Participants will be able to put up
poster displays describing their work and projects and distribute
relevant information during the event. The posters can outline
projects that are still in-progress. The poster sessions will allow
close and personalized contact between the participants and the
exhibitors.

The Symposium is now accepting proposals for paper and poster
presentations based on research at any stage. Please submit your
abstract through this google form by March, 31st, 2023. You are also
welcomed to build on a previous presentation delivered elsewhere.

Please refer to the CERLL website for more information, for the
complete call and the instructions to submit your proposal
