Summer School 2017: Interdisciplinary approaches to multilingualism – socio-cognitive aspects


The theme for the MultiLing summer school 2017 is Interdisciplinary approaches to multilingualism – socio-cognitive aspects.


Aug. 28, 2017 -  Sep. 1, 2017


The MultiLing Summer School 2017 is 5-day intensive course August 28 – September 1, 2017, involving a maximum of 16 PhD students, in addition to participating researchers from MultiLing. The program will consist of lectures (2 x 45 minutes) in the morning and in the afternoon Monday to Thursday and short student presentations followed by discussions. Friday morning there will be a summary of the week with additional discussions related to the lectures and the students’ presentations.


The students will send in an abstract for their presentation in advance (1/2 - 1 page) and they will each have an opponent from among the other students. The students will also be assigned a certain amount of readings (about 500–700 pages, suggested by the lecturers) as a preparation for the course.


The course will examine a broad range of issues relating to human development and language use and learning that problematize a strict separation of cognitive and social aspects of human activity.


Lecturers will be Associate Professor Steven L. Thorne and Professor Nick C. Ellis.
