*You are cordially invited to attend the*
*Online Symposium of the German Research Cluster*
*Language Education and Multilingualism*
*on 3-4 December 2020*
*Location: Online*
*Dear colleagues and friends, *
*From 2013-2020 the research cluster Language Education and Multilingualism
aimed to increase knowledge about language development and learning under
the multilingual conditions of a migration society. Following the United
States and Saudi Arabia, Germany is the country with the third highest
number of international migrants. An increasing number of young people thus
grow up speaking a language other than or alongside German in their
families. Moreover, all young people in this globalised society are
expected to acquire foreign-language skills in education. So, what are the
consequences of multilingualism for development, education, and skills? *
*Funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, the
projects of the cluster have focused on fundamental questions concerning
multilingualism as a resource for learning and have tested the
effectiveness of their research findings in educational practice. *
*On 3-4 December, we will share the design and research results of the
projects and discuss the implications of these findings for multilingual
development. *
*You can look forward to presentations on the following topics: *
v *Multilingualism as a cognitive resource in foreign-language acquisition*
v *Fostering multilingualism for regular subject (i.e. non-language)
learning*
v *Intercultural school development*
v *Approaches to support reading skills in heterogeneous learner groups*
v *The interrelation between writing skills in the different languages of
bi-/multilingual pupils*
v *Longitudinal observations on bi- and multilingual development in
education*
*(You can read the full programme at the end of this invitation)*
