	ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
	This conference will bring together researchers and practitioners to discuss plurilingual and pluricultural education with a particular focus on 'languages of the wider world': the languages of Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Eastern Europe, Scandinavia and the Netherlands. Plurilingualism refers to the capacity of individuals to communicate in more than one language or dialect. Individuals may be plurilingual from learning languages through formal education or from their experiences in multilingual contexts. Keynote speakers confirmed thus far: Professor Jim Cummins (OISE, Ontario,
	Canada) and Professor Claire Kramsch (University of Berkeley, California, USA).

	 

	CALL FOR PAPERS (deadline: 15th November)
	Proposals are invited for papers in any area of plurilingual and pluricultural education, but those under the following themes would be particularly welcome:
	1) Plurilingualism, multilingualism, language policies and planning;
	2) Plurilingualism, identity and citizenship;
	3) Language and intercultural education and innovation.
