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)
