ORGANIZERS: The Research Group The English Language in University

the 11th ELIA Conference to be held in Seville, Spain, on March 19-20,

THEME: The main theme for the 2009 conference will be Bilingualism /
multilingualism in school settings. As in previous years, renowned
international and national scholars in the area of
bilingual/multilingual education will be invited to take part in the
conference as keynote/plenary speakers.



PROPOSALS AND DEADLINE:  Proposals for papers and workshops (40
minutes) that address any dimension of the main theme -from preschool
to university settings-- are invited in English or Spanish. Proposals
related to English-Spanish/ Spanish-English bilingual institutions
will be given preference, but proposals based on other language
combinations (including either English or Spanish in them) will also
be welcome. Due to the symposium-like structure of the conference,
proposals must be related to the the main theme to be accepted. The
deadline for submission of abstracts (300-400 words) is December 1,
2008.



PUBLICATION:  A selection of the papers presented at the conference
will be published in the 9th volume (2009) of the Spanish journal
Studies in Applied English Linguistics (ELIA). All oral presenters
will be invited to submit revised versions of their papers for
possible inclusion.
