Meeting Description:

The Early Language Learning Research Association (ELLRA) has been
created in response to the ubiquitous phenomena in today’s globalized
world of the widespread introduction of other languages ever earlier
into mainstream education and/or the growth of multilingual and
multicultural groups of learners in schools today due to increased
migration processes. Consequently, languages that are present in
education reflect aspirations to learn languages of high status or a
dominant/official language in the society as well as the mosaic of the
learners’ first languages. Knowing many languages is seen as a window
to the world, and therefore learning them continuously from early
childhood can contribute to the child’s growth of individual
multilingualism.

Still relatively little is known of how much language young and very
young children (aged 2- 12) can learn in the formal setting in respect
of varied exposure, what is the impact of various teaching techniques
and tools, what individual factors play a role in language acquisition
at such an early age. The goal of the conference and ELLRA’s mission
is to at least partly fill this gap.

We hope that the conference will gather scholars from various
disciplines (such as linguistics, psychology, education,
sociolinguistics, etc.) and learning contexts across the globe
researching early language learning in formal contexts, be it foreign,
second, minority, additional or heritage languages.
