Meeting Description:

Presentation

Since 2018, UNED’s Language and Society Research Group has hosted a
series of biennial international conferences on bilingualism and
bilingual education, thus giving researchers the opportunity to
present ground-breaking research and eventually cause positive changes
in academia and society at large.

While past editions dealt respectively with the challenges, limits and
solutions involved when dealing with bilingualism and interculturality
(2018), the relationship between bilingualism and migration (2020),
and the confluence of bilingualism and bilingual education with their
immediate and extended social contexts (2022), this edition will focus
on bilingualism and bilingual education, and how both concepts
interact or intertwine with (political) tension.

Bilingualism and bilingual education have become characteristic
features of the world today. Globalization, the internationalisation
of employment, the increase in transnational mobility for educational,
professional or recreational purposes, and technological development
in one language or another are factors that might explain why
proficiency in two or more languages is gaining ground. Bilingualism
and multilingualism have now become the order of the day, even in
traditionally monolingual societies. Nevertheless, in spite of its
overall benefits, the spread of bilingual and multilingual proficiency
might often pose some challenges and at times lead to tensions or
conflicts which may be motivated by political ideologies.

This international conference thus aims to provide a platform for
researchers interested in discussing bilingualism and bilingual
education in relation to language conflicts and tensions, no matter
their shape and form. We welcome proposals (in English or Spanish)
that deal with bilingualism and are related, but not exclusively, to
the following topics:

Language planning
Language conflicts
Language ideologies
Linguistic rights
Linguistic variation and language learning
Bilingualism and demographics
Bilingualism and bilingual education policies
English as a lingua franca
Interculturality
Bilingualism and gender studies
The sociolinguistics of foreign language learning
The link between culture and language learning
Attitudes towards bilingualism and foreign language learning
Heritage languages
Linguistic choices and migration
Bilingual education in monolingual and bilingual contexts
Family bilingualism
Bilingualism in immigrant families
The impact of new technologies on bilingualism and bilingual education

Call for Papers:

It is worth noting that the conference will be held in person, in
Madrid. Presentations will last 20 minutes, followed by 10 minutes for
discussion.

theme. Proposals for papers in English or Spanish are welcome.
