Promoting the acquisition of languages throughout the lifespan: Building
multilingual coalitions

     The NABE 2027 Research Institute, sponsored by the Research &
Evaluation Special
Interest Group, is accepting proposals for short papers to be presented at
the 56th Annual NABE
Conference in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. Our theme, “Promoting the
acquisition of languages
throughout the lifespan: Building multilingual coalitions,” highlights the
critical role of sustaining
language-learning opportunities and collaborations to promote global
connections. The 2027
Research Institute seeks to foster dialogue and partnerships that support
language learning
from early childhood through older adulthood, emphasizing the importance of
multilingualism
in an increasingly interconnected world.

     Submissions that examine the collaboration among members of
educational institutions,
community organizations, and global networks to promote equitable access to
multilingual
education and lifelong language development are especially appreciated. All
research paradigms
are welcome: experimental, quasi-experimental, descriptive, qualitative
(including
phenomenology, constructivist paradigms, grounded theory, narratives,
(auto)ethnographies,
testimonios, (participatory) action research, and mixed designs), and more.
We affirm that each
approach provides a useful lens to enhance our understanding.

     We also encourage submissions that focus on:
● data-based, theoretical, and/or pedagogical practices on bilingualism,
second/foreign/world language acquisition, intercultural communication,
language and
technology integration, and/or language assessment.
● community-centered initiatives for greater linguistic and cultural
inclusion.
● research on a range of languages and varieties, especially those that are
currently under-
represented in bilingual education and/or are associated with marginalized
populations.

     Your abstract should be between 150 and 250 words. Please include a
proposal title,
author(s) name(s), affiliation(s), and a summary of 50 words. Be sure to
mention the language(s) involved in
your study or discussion. Also, include your preferred email and share your
cellphone number
(for internal contact only).

The deadline for submission to the Research and Evaluation SIG is July 6,
2026. A notice of acceptance status will be sent by Aug 28, 2026.
